We found former MNB presidents, Olympic champions, a former foreign minister, and a well-known quiz master on nyitottaktak.hu.

Several well-known public figures, artists, and athletes have been found in the open state security database, including names previously unknown to the public. The database allows searches for individuals linked to Hungary's former state security. While many names have been previously disclosed, some, like Gáti Oszkár and Borhy László, were not widely recognized as being part of this network. The inclusion in the database does not confirm that individuals acted as informants, as the actual reports are not available. Notable figures such as Martonyi János and Surányi György are mentioned, with varying degrees of acknowledgment regarding their past involvement with state security. Others, like Szita Károly and Járai Zsigmond, have denied being agents, while some, like Karikó Katalin, have been noted for their contributions to science despite their controversial pasts. The revelations have sparked discussions about the implications of these associations for the individuals involved.
