I know a person who reported something similar (saying his PS4 got hacked and was under control). Turns out he had paranoid delusions.

Re: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
#82First of all, why would anyone even care about you enough to want to steal whatever health data is available? Is there any particularly sensitive personal info stored there? Second, presumably if one gains access to the device through a sophisticated hack they'd probably also be able to exfiltrate data without having to alert the user. With all of that being said, I wish there was some sort of black box mechanism for…
I just looked through what Health stores and it has fields for your lab test results and sexual history. Seems fairly sensitive?

#83One of the posters posted a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6dazJk9AtU It seems like the ghost touch issue, and not actual hacking.
Typing „we are in control“ would go beyond the ghost touch issue, if we believe the first reporter.
Congrats you were selected voor LLM Siri testing! There may still be some issues…
Re: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
#84> they popped up the keyboard and typed “We are in control” This reads like bad hacking fiction, complete with the guy typing that wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. Why the hell would the (hypothetical) attacker lose precious time doing something like that.
It sounds like delusional thinking and someone with a mental illness.

I think it's way more likely that whoever made that post is trolling, or suffered from some kind of schizophrenic delusion
(or maybe some really really unlucky markov chain)
Re: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
#86If this is actually a bug as most of you think. It's likely a hardware bug and all these devices are kinda faulty? Isn't that the real news here.
If it's an hardware issue with touch it just means that no software patch can actually fix it enough to not waste battery in future. And that there is a realistic change that the issue gets worse when the devices get older.
Re: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
#87I think the "We are in control" thing is a dead giveaway that this is fake. Communicating with the victim might be essential to get access, but afterwards it's just about extracting whatever you need as fast as possible in my understanding.

I can't imagine a hardware bug could manifest on the same date.

The ghost typing seems to be present for others and before the linked reports as well.
Re: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
#90I wonder why most of the comments take it very casually and say may be issue with digitizer/ghost touch. Had it been any other OEM, this would have been such a big issue with anecdotes of why people trust apple products.
Many commenters might be confident because they are familiar with the device, its security and perhaps even development for it.
If this is a software (or somehow even a hardware) issue, than it's still not positive for Apple.
