MAybe they found a way to crash your application and get to windows in that 
way. With a touchscreen you can generate events you cannot do with a mouse. I 
had an issue once if a user clicked in a fraction of a second in 2 different 
locations, resulting in a crash. I spended a lot of time to track that down as 
you could not possibly generate that sequence with a mouse, but on a touch 
screen it was quite easy.

Try to see how they hack into windows. Or maybe set a program that polls wheter 
your application is running and in the foreground, and when it's not relaunch 
it and put it up front. That way, even if they can crash your application, they 
won't be able to 'get in' windows long enough to do some harm.

It wasn't in there, but it also was not not in there, in a logic 
sense. The first thing I did when I read the original message was to 
search for the work "keyboard" to see if it had been mentioned, which 
it had not. Having said that, the above sentence should have given it 
away.
