Two UK teens charged in connection to Scattered Spider ransomware attacks

UK teenager Thalha Jubair has been charged by federal prosecutors for his involvement in the Scattered Spider ransomware attacks on 47 US companies, resulting in over $115 million in ransom payments. The group demanded hefty ransoms from victims after breaching their networks and threatened to publish or sell confidential data. Another UK teen, Owen Flowers, was also charged in connection with a cyberattack on Transport for London. The recovery effort for the agency's public transit system lasted months due to the breach.
