Account Hacked?

★★★ Newbie

Hi guys, this is my first post here, but for the very reason that I "did not" make this EA questions account. Someone else must have as to my surprise, I had an email alert that it was made yesterday. I also seem to randomly have a 1 month's access to EA Origin's sub, which I never purchased.

 

I have no bank details in my account or any payment methods, nor have I recieved charges to my knowledge which is good, so it's curious that I seem to have that Origin access, as if whoever access my account "gifted it"? Lol., unless they are using my account and someone elses bank details, though I can't see that any of my games have been tampered with so far.

 

I have changed all my passwords, several times, done virus scans on my PC, and this keeps happening, I keep getting alerts in my emails of someone logging in to my account, so at a loss at what to do here. I can only imagine it may be on EA's end.

You likely were gifted a free month or Origin Access:

As you have Login Verification active, your account security is at a maximum.

 

If you suspect your account may have actually been hacked, you can check the following link for steps to take:

Yeah I make sure to do all that. I still sometimes get random log in alerts from "WEB" though, and I don't know what that's about.
