    It's amazing to me that some people expect that English will have a readymade word for every aspect of a technology that's been introduced a weekend ago. Those guys that invented English sure did a good job. – John Lawler Jan 14 '17 at 0:13

Though unofficial (and bad?) English perhaps an idea from Urban Dictionary would work. As mentioned in comments a 'official' dictionary may be tricky to find for something so new!

glitching The act of exploiting glitches, errors, mistakes, or a bug in a system for harmless fun or devious mischief.

Glitching can also mean that a system, such as a computer, is experiencing many glitches and technical problems at once.
He has been at the bank glitching that ATM machine all night...
