Please HELP! Hacked.

When I logged in on PS5 at around 7pm Japan time on June 1, I got 'You are logging in on a different device'. I was able to log in and play until 6pm, but an hour later I was unable to play. I am only logged in on PS5. I had a friend check my logged in information and found that someone else had logged in to my account and was playing. I also took a picture of it.I logged into my EA account to check it and found that the PS5 that was tied to my account was also disconnected. I tried to link it back, but I was told "We are unable to process the link because it is already linked to <removed>." I don't have this address in mind. I have no idea who this address is. I want my account back. I am sad to think that if my account is suspended, I will lose the many skins I have bought and the characters I have developed. What should I do? I am also worried that my registered credit card may have been used. Please help me.

 

As of 23:30 Japan time on June 2, I was able to log in. However, the skins, banners, and many other things had changed. I was also friended with someone I don't know. It is really weird and scary. I just logged in and immediately deleted my credit card information. But after all, the person who was logging in illegally is not logging in now, so I was able to get in, and I am afraid that he will log in again. What should I do? I am really scared.

On June 3, I finally got a call that I've been permanently blocked, I've contacted EA help, but will they take care of it? I am not a predator and I am not highly ranked to begin with, why did they steal my account?

    I was able to log in now! I immediately erased my credit card info. But many things have changed and I'm friends with people I don't even know. I'm too scared. I'm really scared that I'll be logged in again...

    Hey there, the same thing happened to me 2 or 3 years ago. They somehow entered my account and used cheats to boost their friends. I was able to enter my account, but unfortunately, I was banned due to them using cheats in my account. I addressed this issue to the EA live support, and it took a while, but I was unbanned after all. What I suggest you to do is activate 2FA for your account and submit a ticket to the EA support. I know it's stressful for you to deal with this, just change your mostly used passwords and use 2FA for your game accounts and emails, etc.

    2FA is set up. It takes a while for them to respond...I've contacted EA support and haven't heard back, so I guess I'll just have to be patient. It's really creepy, it's like they're entering my room. It's good to know that this kind of thing is going on elsewhere, even if just a little...I hope I can get it lifted even if I get banned.
