Kid found a way to travel for free in Budapest. He filed a bug report.
And was promptly arrested

The tale started last week when an unnamed 18-year-old found that he was
able to, when purchasing a ticket online, poke the BKK website in a
particular way to modify the ticket's price and buy it at that new
price.

The BKK then held a press conference at which its CEO Kálmán Dabâ??czi
proudly announced they had caught a hacker and had filed an official
complaint against him.

For his part, the T-Systems' CEO Zoltán Kaszás has also been forced to
apologize, especially after it was revealed the company is paid $1m a
year to maintain the system and its security.
