London: A UK court on Thursday jailed two young men for a 2024 cyberattack on London's public transport operator that exposed the details of millions of customers, in one of Britain's biggest data breaches.

Thalha Jubair, 20, from east London, and 18-year-old Owen Flowers from England's West Midlands were each handed five-and-a-half-year sentences at London's Woolwich Crown Court.
