Let's be careful to not conflate two issues: if you disconnect from a server the clipboard won't be cleared. However, the arbitrary execution of commands in a spontaneously opened console definitely seems suspicious to me. Certainly worthy of yanking the ethernet until I'd run a full disinfect and malware scan.

There was some stuff he had on the clipboard of the iPhone that he didn't 
realise, connected to the host, the clip boards sync up and there it is, on the 
hosts clipboard.

Why are you lot so 'wanting' the problem to be 'he's been hacked!'?

Computers are machines, no different than lawn mowers. They do what they are told, 
"EXACTLY what they are told". They don't do what you want them to do, they do 
what you tell them to do. There is a big difference between the two.

Most problems are the result of misunderstanding how the sw works, like in this 
case.

I'm fairly sure the question has been answered and we can move on.

Cheers,
John

A few months ago I started using VNC in order to access my office computer from 
my Iphone 4. Since I have started using it, I have noticed that at times my

that I have not entered.

Anyone?  Doesn't that mean he's been hacked?  I can't think of another 
explanation for that.
