We have been looking at this open-source project Prey, which provides a
decent device tracking, remote-wipe backdoor type service. Here is an
case where it seems it was used maliciously by an ex-boyfriend, or least
raises some questions about who you trust now, but may not trust later.

Hi.  I have recently found that prey was installed on my phone.  Must
have been done by my exboyfriend.  When I tried to recover password, it
said password would be sent to and it gave his email address.  It seems
like prey can track and record everything I do on my phone.  Can you
please explain to me the capabilities of prey.

Can prey be reinstalled remotely, or does the phone have to be in
possession.  I thought I had uninstalled the program, but as of
yesterday it is back.  It will not allow me to uninstall it.

How can I uninstall prey.  Is there another way of getting into "my
account"  I say my account, because it is my phone the program is loaded
on.  With his email being the one which holds the password I can not get
into it.  Further more, I am unable to see its capabilities and what it
has been tracking.  I am very ignorant in this area of thing.  Any help
you can give me is greatly appreciated.  I can provide any proof you
want that show I am the rightful owner.  Please help.  Thank you.  Marlene
