Faulty Resignation?

I made a move in a game using the Android app and I have an overwhelming won position.  Now my game has been resigned but I certainly never resigned the game.

Is there a bug in the android app or has anyone else encountered this problem?

Maybe you could just use it for games that you are losing.

Another thing I should mention -- when I looked on the app to find that my game had been lost, I opened up the game and it looked like about twenty extra moves had been made from the final position.  I don't remember all the moves but the first ones were 16...Qxe4 17.Bxc5?? (which I would certainly never play) and it ended up in a late endgame with Black winning.  

So I thought maybe someone had hacked my account, but it didn't explain why that person hadn't messed up any of the other games or how such a large number of moves had been entered for both sides.  

Then I went home and looked it up on my PC to find that no additional moves had been played, but White had resigned.  And it's for this reason that I conclude something went wrong with the Andriod app.  

If anyone has any information on this or can somehow look under the hood to see what may have happened, then I would appreciate any insights or information.
