@Sniperclub001So. Let me ask you which of these scenarios is more probable.
1. You only played Apex 8 times. People from countless other countries conspired against you and played Apex 100 times from your account which has nothing of value instead of simply creating their own free account. And you didn't notice any of those 100 logins, ever.
2. You have a VPN.
Edit: And... after looking at your screenshot. Let me add how amazing it is that all of these "hackers" didn't actually play a single match! They simply logged into Apex for 1 minute and then let other hackers take over from a different country for another 1 minute and so on! On the same day! Wow! What a coincidence!

Obviously a VPN sounds more likely, but why would I swap countries literally every 10 seconds on a VPN? Log out, then log back into the game to play? I've never been a high ping player and I only have played ranked in duo/trio with the same 2 friends the entire time I've played Apex for the past season. I don't personally know the benefits of using a VPN from an Apex standpoint as someone who used to play mainly Siege or CS (whereas CS high ping is horrific while in siege it's an advantage). I don't know which range Apex falls on.
I know that a vast majority of these logins aren't even playing Apex, they're just bots searching for a free credit card to bill.
That point aside, why would advisors who supposedly have this information try to tell me that my account isn't compromised despite seeing this?Edit: After going through your profile it seems you're more of a "cheater hunter" just trying to go after toddlers despite being a Guide rank as a hobby I suppose though, so asking you for any help probably wouldn't be that useful anyways.
- 4 years ago@Sniperclub001 Why would hackers do it?
I know why someone who is cheating would do it. They would try to create a false story of "I was hacked" by logging in and out repeatedly and changing the location of their VPN. Unfortunately, this brilliant person would obviously not realize that there are time stamps that show each successful login as being just 40 seconds apart. This person might even then try to post a screenshot of these insane logs as proof of their innocence.
Advisors experienced in this would obviously not fall for such a laughably halfwitted plan.- 4 years ago
And I completely understand why you would obviously go witch hunting, because proving yourself innocent after already being judged is difficult.
These were the earliest successful logins that were outside my IP, my ban happened on the 23rd. The logins started spiking between the 17th and the 22nd, one Advisor had said they saw a single login to my account outside my IP after my sanction was administered. That said, I have never used a VPN before, I'm not a content creator and have no purpose hiding my IP. I've never been banned on any other game before, it's on my main steam account, I've been signed up for EA/Origin on my account according to my data literally since
"Date_Created": "2011-01-15T07:04Z"
I think the belief within that much time without EVER changing my password or adding 2Fac that I could easily have been compromised over the course of 10 years with no password changes.
