Account was hacked, username changed but, they added all their buddies.

Yep, they hacked this account and changed my username from it's original one to this, and then made my security question into russian. I only managed to regain it when they attempted to change the email adress. I want to change it back to english and change my username back as well because it doesnt feel secure, and I REALLY hope they didn't take any of my CC information. They even put some hours in on BF4 for me ( great I guess, but apparently they weren't very good.)

Anyway, what should I do now? I've complied a list of the names of who the hacker added to my friends list (also seemed to have blocked all of my friends) 
And went onto those user's profiles to do some digging, and some of those names were constant so that's what I took note of. I would try EA support, but I work full time and can never seem to catch them during business hours. Thanks for your time, and lets catch these dummies.

  • account security is important if your account was compromised you should contact ea support http://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/?product=battlefield-4 fill out an account security ticket and give all information you have available. you can use chat or have them call you. in addition you want to contact your bank or credit card company and notify them your data was compromised as well so they will flag anything out of the ordinary. an extra step you can do to make your account safer is by loging in your origin account and go into your account settings security section and enable login verification.
