    Yes. There are a lot of reasons why any one of us could turn into a high value target at the drop off a hat. If not to a government, then to an organisation or a lone lunatic.

    Yes, absolutely! But that wasn't the point - rather that the spyware ones are popular for some reason, and thus can serve as a sad example of "low-hanging fruit to make an example of".

    (TBH I don't get the need for a separate app in general, seems gimmicky, I just use a normal calendar)
