Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked

Was chilling then felt the haptic feed back triggering on my watch. Looked at it and someone was scrolling through looking at my fitness and health app and trying to get my personal info. Also they where trying to get into my photos. I stared pressing the button to return home and they popped up the keyboard and typed “We are in control”. Then the stared to set alarms and checking my location. So I tried to take the watch off so it locks. Then they started to type in my password so the knew the numbers just not the order. They guessed wrong, so it locked for 1 min and then I factory rest it and unpaired it. And reset all my passwords

Apple Watch Ultra 2, watchOS 10

Today this happend to me too. Felt the force feedback from my Ultra2 and noticed it was taking pictures via mij iPhone! I took the watch off, saw the screenlock being activated. Then I saw seemingly random numbers being key'd in until it triggered the 1 minute time out... I tried to deactivate the watch but that turned out to b contest of who was faster (or so it looked and felt). I turned off all connections on my iPhone (WiFi, Bluetooth). I then was able to make it to the 'turn off-' slider.

After this went online, logged onto Apple ID, removed the watch en changed my password, logged off from all devices. Back to my iPhone, updated password, reestablished connectivity, turned on the watch, went to my iPhone and to the iWatch app and factory reset the watch... now it sits there, reinstalled and waiting for pairing...

I'm going to keep it that way until this apparent leak has been plugged tight!

Hope that happens soon or perhaps there's someone here who knows more about this issue?

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

Following up on my post. I was unable to confirm if the watch has OS 10.4. Once we get through the watch reset, I will confirm.

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

Just had the same happen to me and now locked out of watch for 15 minutes!

Has anything else happened since you reset the watch?

EXACTLY SAME THING just happened to me! Mine is ultra 2 as well, they even blocked my turn off button, I couldn’t press it! I just forced turning off with long press two buttons.

Software glitches can attempt to login to your online banking? I don’t think so…I don’t care what Apple says, this was an intentional attack.

Yes thnx LD150. Updating to Watch OS 10.4 seems to have fixed the issue. Still, I wont be using the Wallet any time soon...
