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.
