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).

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.
