EA account hacked

[Punk]

Well it just happened over the weekend, some dude hacked my account and changed my ID to STAVROGIN1231 and my email to [email protected] . i was able to change that email adress back to mine and change the password but he also set up a a question that I can't answer, needed to change the ID and some security options...

Any idea in how to proceed?

Contact EA??? Tell them your account was hacked and they changed the security questions.

Yeah probably need to contact EA.

Been trying to find an email adress but I guess they want us to call them so i'll try to do that tomorrow.

Called, they were very professional, checked everything on my account that had been changed during the weekend. Nothing to worry about, the hacker just wanted to play Fifa 16 I guess.

Why is it always FIFA?

A friend of mine had his account hacked as well, and the guy bought FIFA16 with his saved payment details.

EA account are often targeted with attacks, and with EA's accounts tied into all of their games and their Origin e-commerce site.
