Did my Lumia 720 get hacked?

Yesterday a wired thing happened to my Lumia 720. I was browsing with UC Browser and all of a sudden my mobile started to work automatically. It was clearly visible that some one is remotely accessing my mobile phone. He was able to type, click apps. Get into menu from homescreen. But only at the bottom line. While typing he was able to type only space bar and .com ., etc., Also he was able to click the menu in all apps (...) and get into the settings. When I disabled my cellular data, everything got stopped. I faced this issue from 4.30 am IST till 3 pm IST. Is there any ways to fix this..?

No you were probably not hacked, drawing on what knowledge I have.

I suspect the touchscreen simply bugging out.

But how come he was able to switch on/ off my cellular data..?

I was actually running my Lumia 720 in developers preview Windows Phone 8.1 update 1. Today I updated my phone with Lumia Cyan. Let me see if this is fixed.

I am sure Alien wanted your earth's porn, that's why you got hacked by them.

and where is your video? it sounds like your phone would just be acting up. since it's the first time I read someone saying something like this, I mean we don't even think we have a way to remote control the phone through team viewer or some App, unless it was plugged on PC with "project my screen App".

or maybe "possessed phone" is the real answer. who knows. but next time you should record a video so we can see how that happened

I think you weren't hacked .As far as I know WP is secure... May be you are facing ghost taps due to touch screen problems....

neither is it touchscreen problem nor were you hacked, it's simply a bug with cellular data handling

I had an experience of this sort in my 620 back in Gdr1 Portico days. But I found out that it was indeed the touch screen ghosting and was fixed by the next firmware update.
