Jackie: thanks for putting up with all of my questions. I was hoping you would not say you had 300 apps. Then, it would be hopeless to try to figure out what is going on.
With only 10 apps we might be able to find something. Do you mind listing those apps out by name? I want to look them up.
Another thing: if it happens again, please pull out your phone, put your iPad in a stable position, and take some video of the screen while it appears to be getting hacked. Nothing is better than video proof for this kind of thing. You can post it here (or on youtube) and you can show it to the Apple folks.

In a way I am hoping it will happen again so I can video it with my phone and will publish it every where I can. I am sorry but I did say i was a novice i clicked on more apps and found others. I have camera and photos, music, weather, google, videos, Facebook, iBooks, words HD3, 4 in a row, my pad, PFhd3, solitaire, sky go, calculator, BT wifi, tripadvisor, traffic signs 4od, removem2' Sondhound, demand5, dynafleet, crime map, safari.
PRISM is calling
no seriously, that sounds like a remote accessoire to me, bluetooth keyboard/mouse or something like that, somebody has had his fun with you
The answer is it was a defective touch screen and no the iPad was not accessed by some Alien in outer space.

Dude, it is a faulty digitizer (touch screen) as mentioned previously. You may need to take a trip to an Apple Genius if it persists.

You forgot about Chuck Norris! But with him, he's just has to look at it a certain way

I am sorry it happened to you. Unfortunately Apple will deny it is possible. The Pentagon's security can be hacked but apparently Apple devices can't! If it is as simple as this why don't top security only install Apple. I think not!

Whilst it is not impossible, the OPs symptoms and that of the more recent poster indicate a digitizer issue/fault. Unless you are an important person, I doubt the NSA or other agency would be wasting resources to hack a random iPad.

What version of ios are you all using? Im sure its a faulty screen though. What was you all doing at the time when it happened. Are you sure it was not just lagging and playing up? I bet its hard to try and prove it if nobody believes you though. It wouldnt surprise me if it was possible nowadays these hackers can do anything but i highly doubt they will target you unless you was someone important with sensitive information to see.
Maybe its worth you going to settings>general>profiles and see if anything is installed there that may look suspicious? Worth a shot.
