I'm also aware of an attack/exploit on carpark ticketing systems that people are using to get cheap parking.
I wouldn't call it sophisticated but it does require an understanding of the system above your average punter.
But what is most interesting, is these kinds of exploits seem to be getting found by non-technical people, and while I see all the ways it is easy to trace the exploit back to them, they don't and so to them it's more akin to a videogame exploit. Ie: they can't envision real world consequences from messing with a computer system.
In their defense, they have been getting away with it for two years now.
