Scattered Spider Teens Plead Not Guilty in TfL Hack

🔒 Two British teenagers, identified by authorities as suspected members of the Scattered Spider collective, have pleaded not guilty to computer misuse and fraud-related charges at Southwark Crown Court. The charges stem from an August 2024 breach of Transport for London (TfL) that disrupted online services, caused millions in losses, and later was found to have exposed customer names, addresses, and contact details. Arrested in September 2024 by the NCA and City of London Police, the defendants face additional alleged conspiracies involving US healthcare networks and separate counts tied to seized passwords.
