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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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

maybe the ghost is english-speaking ?
