    I removed the images from your post as there was personal info visible.

    If you think your account may have been hacked but you can still access it, try to secure your account with these steps.

    1. Clear your browser cache.
      • This deletes saved web info that can include old passwords. 
    2. Reset your EA Account password.
      • Choose a strong, unique password that uses a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. 
    3. Reset the password for the email address you use on your EA Account.
    4. Turn on Login Verification as an extra security step.
      • This will send you a code to confirm your identity when a new device tries to log in to your EA account.

    Once you’ve successfully completed these steps, your account should be secure. Keep monitoring your account for suspicious activity and reach out to us if something doesn’t look right.
