MacRumors iPhone Blog: Undercover 1.5 Adds Push Notification Tool to iPhone Theft Recovery App : very clever. ‘You can make the messages as enticing as you want – say, by having them pretend to be a notification from your bank account. If the crook chooses to view the push notification, Undercover will launch, [..] loading any Website of your choosing, such as the aforementioned bank’s. While the thief is distracted, Undercover will be happy to save the device’s GPS coordinates and IP address to Orbicule’s Website.’
