Ahnald's Latest Video
I assume Ultra is going to come along and delete this and warn me, but hey... I would definitely give it a watch. CG don't seem to care that our accounts can be hacked into and deleted.

P.S. I will not go into details how it is done, but they don't even have to brute force the passwords. They have other ways.
Yes, there are other ways to crack a password, but they all have the same solution, have a longer, stronger password so that its not feasible for a hacker to crack it via brute-force, or other techniques
Why use the front door if you can use the backdoor or a window?
Using the password would be using the frontdoor..."StarSon;c-2364985" wrote:

Yes it does,
The hacks that happen on FB have nothing to do with how good your PW is. They have their methods to crack even very strong passwords.
The stronger your password, the greater the time it takes for someone to crack your password
Apple just announced in iOS 16 about transitioning to PassKeys, maybe that's the future
No, it doesn't. The bug/exploit is about duplicate device/userID's used to connect to the accounts, and has nothing to do with passwords. This is why emulators using a *guest* account can connect to an existing player's ID. There is no logon involved.
If you actually followed this thread, you would know the reason for Ahnald's video was a reddit post where the guy's facebook account was hacked, and that account was linked to GOH and that's how he lost the account.
The device ID thing is completely separate.
But the ID thing *IS* an issue and has nothing to do with passwords. It's an exploit that needs to be closed and addressed, and that *is* what the content of Ahnalds video is about, regardless of * who or why* it was created."EgoSlayer;c-2364987" wrote:

Not sure you're paying close enough attention. Sure, the device ID thing is a problem, but it's not really an exploit because there's no way to do it on purpose. It only happens if you use the emulator wrong.
That doesn't change the fact that the issue in this thread and today's Ahnald video is the guy on reddit who lost his GOH account because his facebook account was hacked, not because of an emulator bug.- I am not a fan of CG, but in this case, it is a European regulation (GDPR) stating that you own your personal data, so in the case of a SWGOH account, you have the right to ask for the deletion of your personal data (email linked to a SWGOH profil), that means EA/CG can not keep your personals information without your consent even as a backup so you cannot ask them for an account retrieval.

.
It has nothing to do with using it wrong. How exactly do you use the emulator wrong?
It can happen to anyone using the emulator that they find themselves in someone else's account.- Using it right, using it wrong, it doesn’t matter, it’s still happening. The point is that it should be fixed ASAP.

Maybe don't spam and Ultra won't close your threads. Also maybe don't use weak facebook accounts to get into GOH and then you won't get your game deleted.
Then maybe CG shouldn't have the option to use a FB if it is weak and they know it can be hacked. Or they could make it more secure. Just a thought.
Then maybe the user should have enabled 2FA in Facebook to prevent it from being hacked in the first place. Just a thought.
i dont have a fb account and ive randomly logged into anothers account and have been informed when going to the game that ive logged out of mine before. it aint that bro."StarSon;c-2364940" wrote:

Sure it's always the user's fault and everyone is supposed to be an expert and not in the hands of the actual company that provides a game to make it secure. Especially when they know about security problems.
You can't blame CG for a user that created a throwaway facebook account with an easy to guess password or reset questions. it's 2022, you don't need to be a security expert to know these things.
yeah...everyone uses password1234 as their password. oh and your cg check is in the mail bro...- Please move this thread. This is a little ridiculous it’s still in general discussion.
- Don’t move this thread. It’s legitimate and needs to be in general discussion.
- Anyone who’s saying “oh yeah sure, blame CG for a weak password etc…” clearly hasn’t watched the video nor understands the root of the issue here. The issue is that you can be randomly logged into a random account and take advantage of the delete feature that CG has added. This has happened to me in the past (account wasn’t deleted) and has happened to several guild mates as well. This Issue IS CG’s problem and there’s no “blame” being thrown here. It’s an issue that exists. Plain and simple.
You’re all more than welcome to believe what you’d like to believe until it happens to you. But the fact that this guy is here simply advising people to watch a video related to an issue that’s kind of a big deal isn’t a justifiable reason to throw insults at him. ?♂️
