URGENT! Possible bug / hack through emulators

Product: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
Platform:Android Tablet
What type of device are you experiencing the issue with? MEmu emulator
OS Version Android 5.1.1
Ally Code: (Find it here: http://bit.ly/AllyCode ) 189-771-588
What type of issue do you have? Other
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Summarize your bug While performing the steps needed for linking my iPad swgoh account to an emulated Android Device, through Facebook Connect I logged into another account not my own.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have no idea where this went wrong, but checking logs in the auth server would be a step. It could be that this particular emulator is compromised and harvests account details through malware and messes up the linking in the progress or something within the chain of events in getting a link established to another device is seriously bugged. I know that emulators are not supported, but if this happened to me and the person I am now in contact with while sorting this out, it could easily happen to many other people, reporting this as a hack instead! Even when those possible victims are not using emulators.
Connection Type Mobile
Please select your region Europe
Country Netherlands

Like I mentioned in the "Steps" this should be considered as a system compromise and be looked in a.s.a.p., because everytime I now want to open swgoh on my emulated Android device I get the other person's swgoh account, with full access to do anything, but off course I didn't
Emulators supported or not, this is a serious bug or hack, since any bug can be a potential hack.
Let me know what the tech support / devs need, because the EA chat was useless and didn't even wanted to help me out which is very poor support!

    Have you tried logging out of that account and re-linking your own account?

    Is the Ally code listed in your post the one for your own account, or the other player's account that you have accidentally opened?

  • I am in the process of unlinking all devices from my Google, Facebook and Apple ID, then changing all passwords.
    The ally-code is mine and this is the ally-code from the other person 213-591-147.
    Logged in and out, but going to try again after I did all of the above.

    Hey, thanks for the report. Can you please send me more information via private message?
    The issue I am seeing here is that SWGoH Facebook Connect uses the Facebook login credentials. I don't see how you can connect to someone else's Facebook account without having the credentials. Maybe it's worth a try to contact the emulator developer as well.
