Boy arrested over London transport cyber hack


The teenager was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences and has since been bailed.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the cyber security incident affecting Transport for London (TfL), the National Crime Agency (NCA) said. TfL said that about 5,000 customers' sort codes and bank account details could have been accessed by hackers amid an "ongoing cyber security incident". The NCSC is urging anyone who thinks they may have been the victim of a data breach to be vigilant about suspicious emails, phone calls or text messages.
