Love how Apex accounts are getting hacked left and right while EA does nothing.

But game is free, right? Why hack accounts, if you can simply create new and cheat?

I'm sure huge % of all these "my account was hacked" are just naive attempt to get unban.

Reality is that many players give their account details to some unknown person, who boosts account to Diamond/Master, or unlocks some icons for money. One thing they don't think about that this person may use cheats and after a week... surprise, surprise => ban.
