Re: My EA account was hacked and my email got changed

Hey @vavabb,

I'm really sorry to hear that your account has been compromised and that you still haven't been able to fully recover it. As you mentioned that you cannot change the email and send a dispute to the Terms of Service team, you will need to contact EA Help Support for assistance in making the necessary account changes. 

Since you can't create a case using the current account, you can create a new EA account using a different email address and then mention the details of the compromised account. Once you receive assistance to fully re-secure your account, you can then send a dispute to the Terms of Service team.

Should you have any further questions, please let us know.

    What details do you need to verify my identity? every time i try to make a new account with a new email and try to link steam it says that my steam account can only be linked once in a lifetime, and since i cant access the other EA account then i cant unlink it with my steam.

    My husband is having the same issue but on PlayStation. He’s tried playing the new battlefield six beta however a random email that has never been seen before is linked to it and he’s tried to contact EA but they’ve gone silent or not contacting him back. He even has screenshots to prove everything. it’s not just you my biggest issue He’s tried playing the new battlefield six beta however a random email that has never been seen before is linked to it and he’s tried to contact EA but they’ve gone silent or not contacting him back. He even has screenshots to prove everything. it’s not just you also my big issue is what happens when he buys the game? Is he going to be in the same position?

    yeah i think only solution in this matter is to make whole new steam/playstation account and link that to to new ea account because im been sending 5+ email to ea support and i think they dont care. they never reply to me.

    Same thing happened to me. Seems the only solution is to try and get in contact with the live chat  but if they're experiencing high wait times the live chat isn't available. I'm on PC so I just downloaded the EA app and played theBF6 beta by downloading it with EA instead of steam.  Very frustrating. Same thing also happened to me with Ubisoft so I can't play rainbow 6. I just keep getting AI messages from Ubisoft saying they can't verify my account and they try to verify it by sending the email I don't have since it was hacked to verify it. Very annoying. Now the US wants to pass a law where you need your government ID to use sites like YouTube when companies can't even keep their data secure.  Ridiculous.

    I have had my account hacked in a similar fashion and with the email changed to a Russian one. I have sent 3 support tickets in EA Help about it and had not received a email or anything for the past 2 weeks. But what is strange that on this i get nothing under "My Cases" about the support cases. What do?
