I hurried into the local department store to grab1 some last minute Chirsmas gifts. I looked 210-060 Exam Examtestview 70-412 exam questions at all the people and grumbled2 70-412 exam questions to myself. I would be in 1Z0-062 study guide pdf here forever and I just had so much to do. Chirsmas was beginning to 210-060 Exam become such Examtestview a drag. I kinda wished that I could just sleep through Chirsmas. But I hurried the best I could through 70-412 exam questions 1Z0-062 study guide pdf all the people to the toy department. Once Cisco 300-070 pdf again I kind of 210-060 Exam mumbled3 to Examtestview myself at the prices of all these toys, and wondered 210-060 Exam 1Z0-062 study guide pdf if 210-060 Exam the grandkids would even play whit4 them. I found myself in the doll aisle5. Out of the corner 210-060 Exam of my eye Microsoft 70-483 Exam I saw a little 70-346 exam questions 1Z0-062 study guide pdf boy about 5 holding a lovely doll.He kept touching6 her hair and he held Examtestview her so gently. I could not seem to help myself. I just kept loking over at the little 210-060 Exam boy and Microsoft 70-483 Exam wondered who the doll was for. I Examtestview watched him turn 70-412 exam questions to a woman and he called his aunt by Microsoft 70-483 Exam name and said, “Are you sure I Examtestview don’t have enough money?” Examtestview She replied a bit impatiently, “You know that you don’t have enough money for it.” The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere that she had to go and 70-412 exam questions Cisco 300-070 pdf 1Z0-062 study guide pdf get some other things and would be back in 210-060 Exam a few minutes. Cisco 300-070 pdf And then she left the aisle. 210-060 Exam The boy continued to hold the doll. Examtestview After a bit I asked the boy who the doll was for. He said, “It is Examtestview the 70-412 exam questions doll my 70-346 exam questions sister wanted so badly for Chirsmas. She just knew that Santa would 1Z0-062 study guide pdf bring 210-060 Exam it. “I told him that maybe 70-412 exam questions Santa was 70-346 exam questions going to bring it . He said, “No, Santa can’t go where my sister 70-346 exam questions is…. Cisco 300-070 pdf I Microsoft 70-483 Exam have to give Microsoft 70-483 Exam the doll to my Mama to take to her. “I asked 70-346 exam questions him Microsoft 70-483 Exam where his siter was. He Examtestview looked at me with the saddest 210-060 Exam eyes and said, “She was gone to be with Jesus.

My Daddy says that Mamma is going to have to go be with her.” My heart nearly 1Z0-062 study guide pdf stopped beating. Then the boy looked at me again and Cisco 300-070 pdf Microsoft 70-483 Exam 1Z0-062 study guide pdf said, “I told my Examtestview Microsoft 70-483 Exam Daddy to tell my Mama not to go yet. Cisco 300-070 pdf Cisco 300-070 pdf I told Cisco 300-070 pdf him to Examtestview tell her to 1Z0-062 study guide pdf wait till I got back from the store.” Then 70-346 exam questions 1Z0-062 study guide pdf he asked me if i wanted Cisco 300-070 pdf to see his picture. I Cisco 300-070 pdf told him I’d love to. He pulled out some picture he’d had taken at the 1Z0-062 study guide pdf front of the store. He said, “I want my Mama to take this with 70-346 exam questions her so the dosen’t ever forget me. I 70-346 exam questions love Microsoft 70-483 Exam my Mama so very much and I wish she dind not have to leave me.But Daddy 70-346 exam questions says she will need Microsoft 70-483 Exam to be 210-060 Exam with my sister.” I saw that the little boy had lowered his head and 70-346 exam questions had grown so qiuet. While he was not looking I reached into my purse and pilled out a handful of bills. I asked the little boy, Cisco 300-070 pdf “Shall we count that miney one more time?” He grew excited and said, “Yes,I 210-060 Exam just know it has to be enough.” So Examtestview I slipped my 70-346 exam questions money in with his and we began 70-346 exam questions to count it . 70-412 exam questions Of course Microsoft 70-483 Exam it 70-412 exam questions was plenty for the doll. He softly said, 70-346 exam questions “Thank you Jesus for 70-412 exam questions giving Examtestview me enough money.” Then the boy said, “I just asked Jesus to give me enough money to buy this doll so Mama 70-412 exam questions can take Microsoft 70-483 Exam it Microsoft 70-483 Exam with her to give my 70-412 exam questions sister. And he heard my prayer. I wanted to ask him give for enough to buy Cisco 300-070 pdf my Mama a white Examtestview rose, but I didn’t ask him, but he gave me Microsoft 70-483 Exam enough to buy the doll 70-346 exam questions and a 1Z0-062 study guide pdf rose for 1Z0-062 study guide pdf my Mama. She loves white rose so much. “In a few minutes the aunt came Cisco 300-070 pdf back and I wheeled my cart Microsoft 70-483 Exam away. I could not keep from thinking about the little boy as I finished my shoppong in a ttally different Microsoft 70-483 Exam spirit than when I had 1Z0-062 study guide pdf started. And I kept remembering a story I had seen in the newspaper several 1Z0-062 study guide pdf days earlier about a drunk driver hitting a car and killing7 70-412 exam questions a little girl and Cisco 300-070 pdf the 70-346 exam questions Mother was in serious condition. The family was deciding on whether to remove 70-346 exam questions the life support. Now surely this little 70-412 exam questions boy did not belong with that story.Two days Cisco 300-070 pdf Cisco 300-070 pdf later I read in the paper where the family had disconnected 210-060 Exam the life support and the Examtestview young woman had died. I could not forget 210-060 Exam the little boy and just kept wondering if the two were somehow connected. Later that day, I could not help myself and I went 210-060 Exam out and bought 70-412 exam questions aome white roses and took them to the funeral home where the yough woman was .And there 1Z0-062 study guide pdf she was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the 70-412 exam questions little boy in the store. I left there in tears, thier life changed forever. The love that little boy had for his little sisiter and his mother was overwhel. And in a split8 second a drunk driver had ripped9 the life of that little boy to pieces.

The Budapest Transport Authority (BKK, in Hungarian) recently launched an online payment system with the help of a T-Systems, Deutsche Telekom’s consulting arm. The system, which took three months to build, was supposed to be installed in time for the FINA world championships in Budapest. The software, not unexpectedly for such a project, was full of bugs including the discovery of an administration screen with with a password set to “adminadmin.”

Government incompetence augmented by money-hungry consultants is nothing new. But what happened next is certainly something unique.

On or about July 14 an unnamed 18-year-old – “The boy is nobody. He’s not even a programmer,” said one Hungarian who wished to remain anonymous – emailed BKK about a hole he found in their system. The hole, if it can be called that, let anyone with passing knowledge of modern browsers to set any price they wanted for any ticket in the system. By simply pressing F12 a “hacker” could change the price of a ticket right in the browser, and because there were no server checks, they could purchase the ticket at that price. The 18-year-old “hacker” discovered this and showed BKK that he was able to buy a monthly ticket. “A monthly pass costs 9500HUF (about 30EUR) and he modified the price to 50HUF,” wrote Laszlo Marai in his post on the attack.

In the intervening weeks the Hungarian media had fun with the story. They found countless bugs. BKK and T-Systems went on the defensive, claiming their system worked just fine. Whole media is convinced they made rubbish system and literally the BKK and T-Systems washed themselves of responsibility,” said a translator. “System is 100%, they said. It’s excellent. They said that a lot of people tried to hack the system and they swore that they would defend against them.”

A few weeks passed until July 21 when the police arrested the young man at his home after BKK completed an investigation that, presumably, involved reading his email to BKK. It is important to note that the young man lived outside of Budapest and could not use his purloined BKK pass.

“That boy was arrested and the police took him for questioning and booked him,” my source in Hungary told me. “They released him a few hours later.”

BleepingComputer posted a translation of the teen’s statement on Facebook:

I am an 18-year-old, now high school graduate. Perhaps that which differs from the average, is that I trust that I can help solve a mistake.I discovered last Friday that I could take a monthly ticket for 50 for the new internet e-ticket system in BKK, and then informed them about two minutes later. I did not use the ticket, I do not even live near Budapest, I never traveled on a BKK route. My goal was just to signal the error to the BKK in order to solve it and not to use it (for example, to sell the tickets at a half price for their own benefit).

The BKK has not been able to answer me for four days, but in their press conference today they said it was a cyber attack and was reported. I found an amateur bug that could be exploited by many people – no one seriously thinks an 18-year-old kid would have played a serious security system and wanted to commit a crime by promptly telling the authorities.
I am convinced that if I do not speak about the error, I will not report it. My hire was canceled only after I sent my letter to them.

I would like to publish this post without my name and identity. I ask you to help by sharing this entry with your acquaintances so that the BKK will come to a better understanding and see if my purpose is merely a helper intention, I have not harmed or wanted to harm them in any way. I hope that in this case the BKK will consider withdrawing the report.

Over the weekend, the BKK chairman took to the radio in Hungary to blame T-Systems for the situation and T-Systems, as per the usual consulting crisis playbook, released a rambling non-apology.

Hierarchical integrated defense: cisco SAFE that successful security solution should adopt integrated protection on the network infrastructure, and Exam Test not only consider some special safety equipment.As a result, cisco has integrated security capabilities AWS-SYSOPS pdf into its 210-260 exam various network products to ensure that the entire network is fully integrated and 210-260 exam three-dimensional.Guangdong development bank has implemented such a three-dimensional integrated security defense.Take the guangdong development Exam Test bank’s outreach network system, for example, which USES three layers of integrated security protection, including routers, firewalls and switches.1, the first layer security protection provided by the router to achieve router in Internet/extranet wan connection of public Exam Test information network, such as DNS server with guangdong development bank, the WWW server and E-mail servers located in external PIX firewall, with these servers as part of the opening to the outside world, the ministry of internal and external users to provide the corresponding services, its 210-260 exam itself also become a part of the public information network.These servers Exam Test in order to provide effective security, prevent the outside of the user to the illegal operation 400-101 exam of the server, the server, delete, modify, or the content, should be carried AWS-SYSOPS pdf out to external access can strictly control.With the firewall function of Cisco router, the operation of external Exam Test users 210-260 exam on the servers can be restricted AWS-SYSOPS pdf to 400-101 exam prevent the servers from being damaged from the outside.2. The second layer of security protection is protected by PIX firewall, which completely separates the internal network of enterprises from Exam Test the external network. PIX is the only outlet for the internal network subsystems.By using PIX firewall to isolate the internal and external network, the security of the internal network is further guaranteed.PIX provides a AWS-SYSOPS pdf complete 400-101 exam record of 210-260 exam all access, including illegal intrusion attempts.PIX realized from the network layer to application layer security protection, can be based on packet source address, destination address, TCP port Numbers and packet length on the communication control, as a move method to access is prohibited.3, the third layer security protection provided by the LAN switches Catalyst 400-101 exam 6500 core switches deployed IDS and firewall module, monitoring the safety of the complex intranets effectively, is 400-101 exam the third barrier against external attacks to prevent, is a AWS-SYSOPS pdf good method to Exam Test prevent internal AWS-SYSOPS pdf Exam Test attacks.Another Catalyst series switches have MAC address filtering function, therefore can be defined according to 210-260 exam the need to switch 400-101 exam each port, only allow specific MAC address of the workstation through the specific port access, port to Exam Test communicate with the connection PIX.Due to AWS-SYSOPS pdf the uniqueness of the MAC address and not configured, this kind of control, in fact, from hardware to control a specific machine, compared with the IP address filtering, this protection has higher security.Through the above three layers of security protection, guangdong development bank AWS-SYSOPS pdf network system to realize the reliable from link layer to application layer security control, have the effect to prevent illegal access external, has AWS-SYSOPS pdf the very high security.Reading this wasn’t the first time I’ve paused to consider whether my heart’s and my people’s infatuation with autumn is not a worldly 210-260 exam indulgence. The promise of the Kingdom is fullness of life, not pretty death. Halloween just means “the night before the Saints” and all the gruesomeness on display represents the demons coming out 400-101 exam one last night before the Saints arrive and drive them all away. A Christian may secretly treasure the festival for that reason, but how can she join in 210-260 exam when her place is not with the demons 400-101 exam and decay, but with the 210-260 exam Saints and salvation? Whence this covert delight in the season’s celebration of fear and death?

I personally feel for the young man concerned, however, I would like to underline that under the given circumstances we had no other option, but to press charges against an unknown offender (as the young man did not contact us). Upon pressing charges, we provided all the information and data available about the involved parties to the authorities for clarification purposes, and shall do so in the future, too. In my capacity as head of T-Systems Hungary, and assuming that the ethical conduct of the young man is ascertained, I would like to offer him the possibility that we cooperate in the future, if he is open to such a cooperation.
The case has revealed that a widely accepted practice of ethical hacking does not exist in Hungary, and partly perhaps due to lack of such, a true consensus has also not evolved, yet. It is time to start the social and professional dialogue addressing “ethical hacking” in Hungary, too, and to establish the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks for the activity. Pursuing this objective, T-Systems shall introduce some relevant initiatives (“bug bounty”) in the near future.

Don’t expect much word from the hacker. “As long as the police procedure is not closed (i.e. there is a result of a court hearing), I do not intend to comment, interview, show up in the press,” he said. “Thank you all so much for standing up for me. It was incredible, and I couldn’t have done this without the support of people. Now I’d like to go back to my own life, rest – I think for a reason, it has been quite an impact on me the last few days.”

Already Hungarians are seeing deeper meaning to this national faux pas. Writes Marai:

Why are these guys covering up so violently? Knowing Hungary it’s somewhat granted that people just don’t like to admit if they have screwed it up. But usually it’s the strongest when politics is involved. Add to this the unwarranted arrest of the guy who reported a bug. They could, or according to some lawyers should, have just cite him. Oh, BTW, and according to the law, what he did very probably wasn’t even illegal. He was reported for ‘unauthorized influence’ of the system, which is covered by the paragraph about ‘fraud committed using information systems’, but the conditions mentioned therein are not met. Which makes it hard to believe that the police did their job properly (or maybe that the T-Systems Hungary guys provided all information they reasonably could).

“This is the usual Hungarian way,” said my source in Hungary, exasperated.
