Apple Watch Ultra 2 acting weird

Tonight at about 2230 CST Sunday 3-17-2024 my Apple Ultra 2 watch was acting hacked. The watch started password after password attempt plus scrolling, then phone locked out the ghost hacker, then repeat, locked out up to 60 minutes.


All along the Ultra 2 watch wouldn't allow me to turn off or hard reset, every time screen to turn off nothing would happen, then the ghost hacker would slide medical or other slider to prevent me from turning off the watch. Finally after about 50 attempts I was able to turn off the watch, whew. Funny, but not funny when I turned watch on, the watch acted normal.

Thus, turning off the watch killed the hack.


Apple, what is going on ?

same thing happened to me today. No matter what I did, I could not shut off the watch. I ended up suspending my service to my watch then within a few minutes the hack stopped. I need to run an update so I took that time to do it so far so good. I’m sure this may be happening to others they just have not reported it .Service AT&T and I know they just recently got hacked.
