I have just received some results regarding my system from a certain source who has just informed me that my router and it's security was set up perfectly and that the only way anyone could of gained access to my system by bypassing the set up that I had was by gaining access from the EA and BF4 game by bypassing the firewall.
So basically I had everything set up correctly and perfectly and my security was also set up perfectly and by allowing the EA apps and Origin BF4 game through my firewall was what allowed my system to be hacked and now in need of some serious attention. I am still awaiting my Antivirus providers investigation which I hope to have the details soon but I have a feeling they will also back up what I have just found out and again will state that it was allowing the EA app and BF4 through my firewall.
Now what is also alarming and annoying at the same time is the fact that CORRUPT SERVER ADMINS were involved and that EA should have the power to be able to see this and then take the action that is needed to not only catch the people involved but to also life time ban them and then close down those servers because if they have done this to me then who else have they done this to and what is their end goal and are they using the EA apps and the BF4 game to hack others for personal gains of the back of EA and Dice?
So the bottom line is no matter how good your security is and how good you think you have your system set up if you use the EA apps and play Battlefield 4 you are basically risking your system from being run perfectly to being hacked and serious damage being done that will cost you decent money to make sure it is fixed and in the worst case replace certain parts that might not be able to get fixed.
Something needs to be done about this and even though I only blame certain party's for not making sure they protect their community I sure do blame them for not taking this situation as serious as they should do and DO NOT prosecute players for HACKING & Cheating they sure need to start doing something to let the players involved know that if they try to use EA or it's games for HACKING purposes or serious cheating they will get far more than just a ban and will see themselves in court because that is the only drastic action that needs to be taken to make sure this kind of activity does not continue in the future because if it continues the way it has done then no wonder EA and other games company's keep having the * taken out of them and are used to line others pockets on their good paying and loyal customers.
WAKE UP EA & DICE and start doing something to prevent this from happening as you have some very bright minds in your ranks and I am sure you can come up with some kind of program that can prevent and notify you when someone is cheating or someones connection ends up with more bandwidth traffic that one person would be using to play the game that could alert them that something bad is going on.
We need more than just an Anti cheat software but also an Anti hacking program to protect your community and players but sadly I have a feeling nothing will get done and I will just be one of thousands who will end up just leaving the game and finding another one that hasn't been infected with no good scum.
Late reply, but you got something in your system (forget about your router or modem, those usually reboot at night , specially modems and they pull a whole new bin from the provider, so a hacker must hack it first and patch the firmware, and its not easy task ). There are many ways to get crap in your system, cracked stuff, free software, etc. Server admins know your public Ip address cuz they can ban you by many methods, user, Ip, etc, so anyone knowing your Ip can ddos. Besides that, you can have an $10000 antivirus , if it don't know the thread or recognize the behavior , it may let it do whatever it want. There are more ways to hack a system in your scenario regarding bf4, but I think none will do that for fun, unless you pissed someone that knows how to do it.
