A teenager discovered that the brand new website
of the public transit authority in Budapest would
allow you to edit the price you paid for your
tickets, so that purchasers could give themselves
massive discounts on their travel, and when he
told the authority about it, they had him
arrested and issued a press-release boasting
about it.

Ein 18-jähriger Schüler aus Ungarn hat eine
Schwachstelle im E-Ticketing-System der
Nahverkehrsbetriebe in der ungarischen Hauptstadt
Budapest gefunden und wurde kurz nach Meldung der
Probleme an das Unternehmen festgenommen. Das
System wird von T-Systems Magyar betrieben. Das
Unternehmen gehört zum ungarischen
Telekommunikationsanbieter Magyar Telekom (a
subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom).
