Two teenagers have appeared in court charged with hacking London’s transport authority in a cyber-attack last year.

Thalha Jubair, 19, from east London, and Owen Flowers, 18, from Walsall, West Midlands, were arrested on 16 September at their home addresses in a joint operation by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and City of London police.
