Federal prosecutors charged a UK teenager with conspiracy to commit computer fraud and other crimes in connection with the network intrusions of 47 US companies that generated more than $115 million in ransomware payments over a three-year span.<\/p>\n

A criminal complaint unsealed on Thursday<\/a> (PDF) said that Thalha Jubair, 19, of London, was part of Scattered Spider, the name of an English-language-speaking group that has breached the networks of scores of companies worldwide. After obtaining data, the group demanded that the victims pay hefty ransoms or see their confidential data published or sold.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin paid by victims recovered<\/h2>\n

The unsealing of the document, filed in US District Court of the District of New Jersey, came the same day Jubair and another alleged Scattered Spider member\u2014Owen Flowers, 18, from Walsall, West Midlands\u2014were charged by UK prosecutors in connection with last year\u2019s cyberattack on Transport of London<\/a>. The agency, which oversees London\u2019s public transit system, faced a monthslong recovery effort as a result of the breach.<\/p>\n
