My account was hacked and they changed the email

★★ Novice

A couple of months ago my email was hacked and I used to use a similar password for some websites or services, and so they gradually got through a few accounts until I realised and changed the password to be much stronger for pretty much everything. However, they changed the email on my EA account (not this one ofc), which at the time didn't affect me because I was only playing FIfa 20 and it kept me logged in. I forgot about it until I tried to use the web app today and realised that my email wasn't working. Does anyone know how I would go about fixing this?? Thank you

Hi, thanks for the help - but I've already tried this route and none of the pages help, it leaves me with the only contact option which is the live chat but the wait times are ridiculous!

Well, FIFA 21 was just released, this might explain the waiting times.
 
You also could try EAs Support on Twitter or on Facebook.
