Hmm you're right.
The User Agreement does state that the account holder is responsible for all activity on said account.
(You are responsible for the activity on your EA Account; it’s yours, don’t share it. Your EA Account may be suspended or terminated if someone else uses it to engage in activity that violates this Agreement.)
I think I did jump the gun a bit there, though if I'm being fair, it could pretty much be seen as the same.
And yes, I am aware that this can just happen out of the blue, downloading software that might've hidden a keylogger or anything else.
Though if accounts are simply unbanned because they got hacked, it could be another issue as it's not always possible to say if someone got hacked.
Worst case scenario, someone makes it seem like their account got hacked so they can get a free pass at cheating so to speak.
Data breaches do happen too, though shouldn't be an issue if you use different passwords.
Brute forcing wouldn't be an issue either if using complex enough passwords (also keeping in mind that the platform offers adequate protection against such attacks)
Most of the causes of account hacks can be avoided nowadays.
I realistically don't see someone getting hacked if they've taken the proper steps, as that would be nearly impossible as far I'm aware.
I know how it is to lose accounts, it's god awful, though I've only had my poor security measures to blame.
I'm sure EA makes exceptions in many cases, though personally I think that being hacked is something that can only be caused by not being careful.
Though I haven't lost any accounts that held a lot of value, so my view might be a tad warped on this.
