Can't unlink unknown Steam account from EA Account – linking fails (PC)

Platform: PC (Steam)
Game: Battlefield 6
EA ID: XenonCube
Steam account I want to link: XenonCube

Problem:
When I launched Battlefield 6, I found my EA Account was already linked to a Steam account I don't recognize (动力耗子). I never made this link, so I believe my account was accessed without my permission.

What happens:
- The in-game screen says the unknown Steam account "was successfully unlinked", but when I click Link Accounts I get "Something went wrong... To continue linking your EA Account to Steam, head back to Steam and start over."
- I also unlinked it at myaccount.ea.com > Connections. After I sign out and sign back in, the unknown account is linked again.

What I have tried:
- Unlinking in game and on the Connections page
- Signing out and back in
- Restarting Steam and the game
- Changing my EA password and enabling Login Verification

Request:
Could a community manager please escalate this so the unknown Steam link is removed from EA's side, and my account is checked for unauthorized access? I can't get this resolved through EA Help.

Screenshots attached. Thank you.

    Hey there, sorry to hear that. 

    Just to clarify, did the advisor send a verification code to your email? You've passed account verification, and they said they couldn't assist you with the changes? Or did you not manage to pass the account verification with them?

    Hi EA_cuervo, thank you for the reply.

    I have already contacted EA Help, and that is where I am stuck. My case number is #255978005.

    The first advisor verified my email, then said there were no further options and closed the chat with no resolution, no escalation and no next step. I have since updated the case, but there has been no progress update, and the unknown Steam account is still linked to my EA Account.

    My Steam purchase receipt and screenshots of the issue are already attached to the case as proof of ownership.

    I understand you cannot fix account issues on the forums. Could you please flag or escalate case #255978005 to the right team, or tell me how to reach an advisor who can handle account security and unlinking? I bought Battlefield 6 on Oct 4 and still cannot play it.

    Thank you.

    Hi there, thank you for providing all of these details of what you've tried so far.

    We cannot assist with account issues in the forums; only EA Help advisors can assist with account security, unlinking issues, and investigating potential unauthorized access.

    Please reach out to the team at EA Help directly so they can help you secure your account and resolve this issue: https://help.ea.com/en/ 

    Let us know if you have any further questions.
