Can my ipad 2 be hacked?
I was wondering if my ipad 2 (non jail broken) could be hacked by someone that uses the same router as I do?
iPad 2, iOS 6.1
And I do not have my iCloud set up nor do I have it synced to my comp

No.
April 17, 2013 - FYI
Mine was hacked. Ipad 2 over cellular network.
Someone opened photos app and started creating a new folder and I kept rebooting until I could get the latest IOS downloaded , wipe the machine, and install..
The symptoms prior to seeing the actual photos app opening were an unresponsive touch screen. I could log in but then it stopped functioning after that. The only network appearing on the desktop was the verizon cell network. Although I normally have it connecting vis 802.x wireless, it had been turned off. I could not utilize the settings app since the touch screen appeared to stop working on login.. Once I rebooted about 15 times in a row I finally was able to get into the settings app and shut down the cellular..
The latest App downloaded was the AR DRONE game app 2 weeks prior.
I would not list a local router to be a source of concern but I am hoping that this had something to do with a particular app rather then some cellular relate systematic hole...
This is a work ipad and does not go to many out of the ordinary web pages...
Hardware issue in my case.
Touch screen must have queued commands while not responsive and then ran what was queued all at once..
Sure looks like someone is remoting it!
Thanks,
