Everybody from Vladimir Putin & Kim Jong-Un through to a shadowy east European gang have be mooted as perpetrators of the recent hack which caused widescale outage across all Transport for London services but conspiracy theorists can put their playbook away as it turns out to be a kid in his bedroom Again!

The 17 year old was arrested by NCA (National Crime Agency) Officers at his parents home in Walsall. Apart from the widespread disruption it is believed that user names, emails & addresses have been accessed and “about” 5,000 customers had their banking data accessed

The individual arrested was interviewed under caution by NCA Officers who are leading the enquiry working alongside NCSC (National Cyber Crime Centre) and TfL to minimise fallout.
