    My stepmum got a laptop years ago that came with a 12 month subscription to McAfee that covered a Windows machine and an Android device. She didn’t have a smartphone at that time but I did so when I set it up on the laptop for her I decided to also put it on my phone. After a while my stepmum started getting loads of emails from McAfee with a picture of my face attached. Turned out if a phone was away from the address registered with McAfee for too long the app would start sending pictures every time the device was unlocked. Thank god it had a front facing camera or things could have got very awkward.
