Isn't an acknowlegement required with the correct tracking number?
If yes, were acknowlegement(s) also forged with guessed tracking numbers?
If yes to my second question, then the tracking numbers either need to be
made much longer and randomized or a one time pass phrase (session key)
needs to be added to the acknowlegement form.
