Two teenagers have been charged over the cyber attack which disrupted Transport for London’s online services and information boards for several months late last year.

Thalha Jubair, 19, from East London, and Owen Flowers, 18, from Walsall, were arrested by the National Crime Agency and City of London Police on Tuesday.

Yesterday they were charged with conspiring to commit unauthorised acts against TfL, under the Computer Misuse Act.

The NCA believes the hack was the work of cyber criminal group Scattered Spider.
