Anti-Cheat Team, more like a Accept-Cheat Team

@770331102 

Come on, tell the whole story: "On January 1, 2024, I went to an internet cafe to play APEX, which led to my STEAM account along with my APEX account being stolen by hackers and taken to cheat. The next day I received a banning email from EA, so I immediately retrieved my account password, checked the login IP of my account, and realized that my account was logged in from a city I had never been to. I left this evidence and submitted it to the TOS team, and it only took them 5 minutes to reply to my email informing me that they had determined that I had cheated and would not unblock my account."

You used untrusted hardware at an internet cafe to login to you account. 

Yes a hacker got you, but that was due to unsafe gaming/account security practices of your own. 

That was and is your mistake, trying to place the blame on EA is just sad. 

Next time use the tips I provided you to better protect your account, here they are again just for reference: 

Account Safety

How to keep your account and hardware safe 101:

1. Use strong passwords for you game account.
2. Use strong passwords for the associated E-mail account. Keep track of your e-mail accounts and what they are connected to.
3. Do not share either of these passwords with others. Keep note of your passwords in a safe place.
4. Enable two factor identification for both the game and associated E-mail accounts.
5. Do not let others use your game account (Friends and family alike) because if they do something wrong on your account it is still your fault, nobody wants to have a sanction on their account because somebody else did or said something wrong.
6. Do not use internet café’s to access your account and play, you do not know what software is on the hardware there, you do not know if the hardware at the cafe has a hardware ban and this can affect your account in a negative way.
7. I would suggest only accessing your account with your own trusted hardware, gaming on another person’s hardware brings some of the same risks as above.
8. I would also suggest not letting others use your hardware in order to play with their account, because if they get a hardware ban on your hardware while using it, it can have a negative affect on your account.
9. Buying used hardware comes with risks as well. The hardware could have been banned and this is not an EA problem but a problem between the buyer and the seller. 
10. Play nice with others, in other words do not de-mean, harass or bully others in Chat or over voice coms, both can be reported and that can also have a negative effect on your account.
11. Use non-offensive user/gamer tag/club tags, if you get a warning about such change it, doing otherwise can lead to a negative effect on your account.
12. Play fair, boosting and teaming are cheating.
13. Play fair using cheating software or hardware is not fair and is really only cheating yourself.
14. Re-read the Terms of Service agreement and the Terms of Sale agreement you agreed to play this game and adhere to it. https://www.ea.com/legal/user-agreement and https://www.ea.com/legal/terms-of-sale

About points 7, 8, and 9, I do know that not everyone can afford multiple hardware setups for the entire family and there is trust that has to be there, talking about the does and don’ts on the use of shared hardware should be done so everybody can enjoy what they do on the hardware and everyone can be safe.

If you believe you have been hacked take appropriate measures to secure your account and associated E-mail account https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/account/secure-hacked-ea-account/

If you believe that a sanction (Suspension/Ban) placed on your account was by mistake you should reach out to the Terms of Service team https://help.ea.com/za/help/account/information-about-locked-or-banned-or-suspended-accounts/
