FedEx
Printer tracking number showed someone else's shipment details

I ordered a printer from HP and checked the order status, which indicated it had shipped and provided tracking numbers. I immediately opened it up and found that the information contained within was not for me but was a recycled tracking number, according to HP Customer Service, provided by FedEx.

So I wondered just how much information might be available, and I was shocked to find a lot more information than I would have thought available, including proof of delivery for someone else's shipment. It was absolutely unsettling how much information was actually available, and I wondered how much of my information will be provided when my tracking number is "recycled"?
