Account Compromised & Unjustly Banned – Seeking Escalation for Foreign IP Audit
Hi EA Community Managers and Support Team,
I am posting here in hopes of getting an internal escalation regarding an ongoing issue with my EA account. My account was compromised by an unauthorized third party, used without my consent, and subsequently banned.
Summary of Events:
Security Breach: My account suffered unauthorized access by an unknown third party. During this period of lost access, terms of service violations occurred on Apex Legends that were entirely out of my control.
Security Steps Taken: As soon as I discovered the breach, I secured the account by updating my password
Initial Appeal Status: A dispute ticket was submitted on August 16th. However, the appeal was denied, and standard support chat advisors are unable to reopen the case, directing me back to closed ticket records.
Why I Am Requesting a Secondary Review:
The initial appeal appears to have evaluated only whether a rule violation occurred on the account, rather than who was logged in when it happened. I never used unauthorized software or cheated on this account.
I kindly request an EA Community Manager or Security Specialist to look into the internal access logs for my account around mid-August. A manual audit of the login IP addresses, locations, and hardwa(HWIDs) will clearly show a distinct anomaly and foreign login signature that does not match my established location or login history.
I am fully prepared to cooperate and provide any verification details necessary to prove ownership and clear this up. I just want to play Apex Legends fairly on my own secured account again.
Thank you for your time and help in escalating this for a proper manual security review.
