TfL: Boy, 17, arrested over London transport cyber hack

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 around 5,000 customers’ sort codes and bank account details could have been accessed by hackers during an “ongoing cyber security incident”.

The NCA said the teenager was arrested in Walsall, West Midlands, on 5 September, after the cyber attack began on 1 September.

TfL’s chief technology officer Shashi Verma said on Thursday that a “limited number of customers” may have had bank account numbers and sort codes accessed.
