My account was recently hacked. When the new update got pushed on the 17th, I tried to login the game on my PS5 account. When I logged in, it asked me to link an EA account like if you were doing cro...
Upon logging in, I noticed my account was completely reset to default as if it was a new account.
This would mean that whoever had hacked into your account had unlinked your PlayStation Account from your EA Account.
You would need to regain access to both your EA and PlayStation Accounts, (including changing your passwords for both accounts and enabling two step-verification for both accounts as well). From there, all you can do is to unlink the PlayStation Account from the incorrect EA Account, and then relink it back to the EA Account it was originally linked with as your Apex progress and data is stored on your EA Account, (not on the PlayStation Account).
Note: Relinking may or may not restore some, (or all), your Apex progress and data, as it is a risk players take when they unlink their platform accounts.
Upon logging back in and checking my account, I noticed that my account was missing over 3000 apex coins. After I let the support know I was immediately greeted with there is nothing we can do from here. That is essentially saying that $30 dollars in monetary value is gone and there is nothing they can do
Unfortunately, any spent in-game currency cannot be refunded, and the items purchased cannot be traded, converted, etc., (I wish it was possible, (like how it is with Fortnite), but it sadly isn't with Apex).

I was told to post on the forum and hope someone would respond which sounds like horrible business practice from a consumer stand point but what can you expect from EA. Been a player since season 0 but this is unacceptable.
As for this, any account related issue cannot be handled on the forums.
Lastly, if you had been banned, you would need to contact the EA TOS Team as bans also cannot be handled on the forums.
