This is probably not hacking, but the ghost touch issue. https://www.zdnet.com/article/ghost-touches-are-haunting-som...

In the discussion thread, it's stated:

I stared pressing the button to return home and they popped up the keyboard and typed “We are in control”.

That would be a very unusual ghost touch issue, if true.

Unless the "ghost touch" issue randomly typed "we are in control" on the author's watch like he claims, then I don't think it's related. If this isn't hacking, then the author is just lying (which is what I suspect, based on all the similar claims being made and upvoted by new accounts that have never engaged in any other topic on the Apple support forums before this).

Ghost touch plus autocorrect. Also check out the YouTube video.

I had a similar issue a few days ago. Watch started pressing random buttons and wouldn’t let me intervene. After a while it stopped.

The presses were completely random and amounted to nothing. Looked like the process that reads touch went into an infinite loop of some sort.

Has only happened the one time. Lasted about 2 minutes. I may have rebooted the watch to make the issue go away, can’t remember.

My guess is the same but I’ll just add that to this day I only have one message in my apple support forum account, posted when I encountered a nasty bug with iOS few weeks ago.

That part seems made up. I don't think the watch possesses the capability for the level of remote control they are talking about, especially on production builds.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The video looks a lot like ghost touch. Could be 2 separate issues.
