Hacked and banned
Hi @Mythisbackboiz,
I'm so sorry, we can't look into the suspicious activity or the ban for you from the forums. Please follow these steps to help re-secure your account. There may be some steps there that can't be completed while the ban is in place but that's ok, the ban itself will limit any activity on the account so nothing further can take place on the account while the ban is live and the remaining steps can be completed if the ban is overturned.
I'll add some recommendations and tips to help best protect your account going forward. Please click on the spoiler tag to expand and view them.
SpoilerIn terms of account security:
• Keep your email address up to date so you can always get your codes to log in.
• Reset your EA Account password - Choose a strong, unique password for the EA account that uses a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
• Turn on Login Verification - Go to your EA Account Security settings and under Login Verification, clicking Turn on. This will send you a code to confirm your identity when a new device tries to log in to your EA Account. in the Security settings, click View by Backup Codes and write them down and keep them in a safe place so you’ll always be able to log in when you need to in the event you can't receive your login codes!!
• Make sure to take advantage of the security settings available for the connected accounts linked up to the EA account also. Examples of connected accounts include the email address registered, accounts such as Steam, Amazon and Twitch, Console accounts (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc) and mobile accounts (Apple ID, Google Play) and Social Media accounts (Facebook).Good online practices include:
• Logging out of any devices you share with others once you're finished or if you are leaving your own device unattended for any length of time.
• Making sure to not to share your account information or security details with others.
• Never revealing your account password with anyone!! Note: our support team will never ask you to share that information with us.
• Never click unknown links from untrusted sources.
• Only enter your EA account details into official EA websites.
• Be aware of fake give-away's surveys or support teams. On Social Media official EA accounts will be marked with a ✔️ by their name so look out for those ticks. If unsure, you can always ask us here on Answers HQ, on help.ea.com or by reaching out to our EA Help Twitter Support team.
