THALHA Jubair, 20, and Owen Flowers, 18, were sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in prison for hacking Transport for London at Woolwich Crown Court. Mr. Justice Turner criticized their actions as selfish bravado neglecting others' consequences. During the attack, Flowers live-streamed footage of Jubair, which was later recovered after his arrest. Both defendants had previous criminal records, with Jubair having 22 convictions related to hacking, fraud, and harassment. He is also sought by the U.S. for extradition related to 47 attacks on U.S. entities.
