Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked

Yes, as discussed on this page, not a hack, just a software glitch, guessing you have S9 or U2 watch

Read my reply above yours. Not a hack, just a bug.

Mine just did the same thing was hacked and going crazy would t let me power off, reset from my phone and now it’s shut down. Welp I tried Apple again about a month ago, bought a iPhone 15promax ultra2 watch, and a MacBook Air pro. All within the last month switching back to android and selling the Apple garbage maybe I’ll just break it so no one else has to deal with this crap

Earlier on the week I reported an Ultra 2 watch suffering this same thing, now as you mention had same issue with my daughter, she had experienced the same issue with a Series 9. Based on the shared stories that some of the hacks were with or with out WIFI I thought it was related to cellular service. My daughters Series 9 has no cellular service.

My biggest concern is that I have no I idea what I do to make the watch vulnerable and I just re boot it but haven't made a significant action to prevent it. I would assume that an expedited new version of the IOS can solve this (if they are working on it), but haven't heard anything official on this matter. Has some one heard something? have heard how to stop the hack at the moment, but haven't heard how to prevent it from happening again! anyone? scary...

At the behest of people asking us to report this I’ve done so, to which I was told that no one is tracking this. “I have reviewed and checked the daily reports from our management team and I right now we don't have and active report like this one.” So I sent the Apple representative this discussion and asked them why no one is tracking all of these reports in this discussion. They gave me a supervisors number.

Yes! This happened to my Ultra 2 at a Cheesecake Factory location. Mine only got locked for 5 mins. I thought it was just my watch screen glitching and I had to hard reset the watch to get it to stop. This is a crazy exploit.

Even if the watch isn’t getting “hacked,” there may be some exploit that’s allowing someone to try and brute force without having physical access to the device. I’ve never seen any of my watches do what I experienced yesterday. I wasn’t connected to any public WiFi, but my watch does have LTE and was paired with my iPhone. Everything is also up to date. After force resetting the watch I haven’t experienced any issues so far. Maybe I will also reset and pair the watch for good measure.

This just happened to me. No prior call to my watch going nuts. My weather app kept scrolling through even thought I had just been looking in the list of recent notifications. Took my watch off so it locked then it locked by guessing the passcode wrong. Unpaired and reset my watch to factory was the only way to stop it from locking it again. During this the power button was inaccessible.

and it happened again on march 31st. strange thing, I looked a lot like someone tried to enter the code and was not very successful with it. I reset the watch again and it stopped... for now. I´m also not too confident in the claims that this is a bug and not a hack-attempt. to me it looks honestly more like a hack...

My Apple Watch Ultra 2 just got hacked as described by all, including the password attempts. I reset and erased all content. Started over with a new password.

Does Apple have a fix for this? They have been rather quiet about this hack.

This just happened to me., if I had not seen that I received a text message. That I know that I received in the AM for a fact I would have not paid much attention to it. It is April 2, 5:21 PM. I wasn't able to shut it off, but I was able to brut reset it and then I proceeded to unpair from my phone.

Question now is, is it safe to pair back again with the phone? Or is it time to go back to good old analog watch?

All help will be much appreciated.

My Ultra 2 watch just went nuts today. Wasn’t connected to wifi and in my office. Unsure if it happened via a spam call I just denied. Looked down and my watch was showing me running…then I clicked out of it trying to quit and turn off. Then my screen locked and I saw insane attempts to unlock my watch which would just increase the lock time. Unsure what occurred. Unpaired and repairing later today. Can Apple tell us what is happening?

Moisture should not contribute to such problems. It is a rugged, submersible, diving watch. Mine just started to do it today after a non sweaty workout, LOL! A lot of apps kept loading that I was unable to quit. Then after I removed the watch from my wrist, it was as if someone was trying to enter my pass code so many times I was locked out. I updated my iPhone, then my Ultra 2 and, … Never mind, got hung up during update and had to perform the factory reset, that seemed to be the fix for everyone else on this forum. Then followed by the update install…😞👎 I believe it’s fixed now. Whew! 🤞
