Better solution: include an iPhone and backup battery in the shipment. Use Find my iPhone.
Or just use FedEx's or UPS's real time tracking

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. It involved write access to other people's brokerage accounts.
FINRA, SEC, and FBI are all good points of contact and they have a straightforward complaint/action process. Assuming that you mailed a letter to the CEO first. Otherwise, I just now post live exploits to my blog at http://privacylog.blogspot.com... and usually give the vendor a heads up.
You will not get credit for the find. The TLAs will not invite you to give a speech. You will not get a career out of this, or even consulting money. Your end game is getting the thing fixed and moving on. Do this by posting your story which proves how innocent you are and giving the people an honest chance to fix it. Imagine you are in front of a jury of idiots. If you are saying "I wrote down this URL, then I typed it back in and some else's bank records came up... then I found out I made a typo". This is a perfectly reasonable story, there is nothing to be afraid of.
On iOS, this app is labeled for "kids 5 and under".
Holy shitsnacks. There are more Archer seasons? I need to step up my piracy.
We are talking about Archer, right?
GNU is abandonware, which is fine in and of itself. However, abandonware under a GPL license discourages corporate sponsorship.
End result: the nix systems we know and love from 10 years ago will be the same exact systems we know and love 20 years from now.

The difference is that corporations (US C Corporations) are the imaginary invention of people, and this is also why they should not be taxed.
I imagine that all my corporations are in tax-friendly, business-friendly domicile. And if such a domicile does not exist, then imagine harder! This is the present state of corporate earnings management.
People, on the other hand, receive all the benefits of corporations. These benefits accrue as transactions, wages, dividends. Transactions and, to a degree, wages and dividends, are real, tangible things.
This is why taxing transactions (i.e. sales tax) can strive to meet standards of fairness and smartness, but taxing corporate profits will always lead to ridiculous outcomes.
iPad is a single-player device.
The one in my house displays a pop-up when shoes go on sale that my wife wants or whenever a commit hits any of my GitHub projects. Multiply that by about 50 installed apps and this quickly become a device that is not fun for anyone.
But sure, for business users and single people, it is just a big phone.
This is lip service to people complaining about the real problem.
And the real problem can be solved by the existing anticompetition and racketeering rules we have.
> So why isn't every website I browse in plaintext presented with a gigantic red warning page which requires 3 clicks to get through?
They do, it's called advertisements injected into your page by Comcast when browsing on xfinitywifi wifi hotspots
> And please do not tell me that I should worry about the NSA knowing that I was looking at restaurants.
Ettercap
"more intended for situations where someone is on the run and unlocatable or in a hostile country with no extradition treaty"
Don't forget, the US legal system put copyright and security theater offenses near the same level as more traditional capital offenses.
Download the record everything app from the Google App store and keep every call when you dial Comcast. Then post all calls onto sound cloud
Am I the first to point out iOS8 fixes this.
This is a cute post that implies governments will use influence over CAs to sign fake websites that are accepted by default by browsers.
Given any such forgery would:
- leave immediate and permanent evidence
- be a known attack vector that people are actively seeking evidence of
- be of high interest to slashdot and browser makers
Then I would recommend the naive null hypothesis that governments do not do this on a large scale has a high bar to be rejected.
OTOH, targeted attacks against individual people are a different story.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
