I had someone gain unauthorized access to my Activision profile, and linked their Steam (I play on Xbox only, always have) and played a few games using what I assume were “hacks” which allowed them to have crazy games. This happened Sunday night (12/17), and I noticed pretty quickly. I went in and changed my password, set up 2FA but other than that, I had no idea what to do. I saw the unauthorized steam profile linked, but was afraid if I tried to unlink, it would notify them and they’d somehow get back in.

I submitted an “account recovery” request for unauthorized activity, but shortly thereafter I just went ahead and unlinked the persons profile, and had no issues. Btw, the moment from the moment I first discovered this, the person had since stopped playing on my account and never did again.

Monday night (12/18), I tried to log on, only to find out I’m permanently banned. When I went to submit an appeal, I got a message saying I couldn’t appeal while an account recovery is in process. So I submitted a ticket saying I already fixed the issue and removed the unauthorized user. As of this morning (12/20), everything is still the same. Idk what to do her
 
Sorry to hear that this happened to you. I do not think there is much you can do at this point except to wait for the wheels to turn and see what they come up with after looking at what you submitted.

The same exact thing happened to me last week. I also submitted an account recovery and haven’t heard anything for over a Week. It also says permanently banned. I don’t get it. I’m just a casual couple hrs a week player. Have you heard anything on your case? Did it get resolved? Thanks
 
I was banned a few days ago. I play on Xbox I don't have a steam account linked to my profile. I didn't know what was going on so i tried to appeal and they sent me.

Someone linked their steam account yesterday to mine, I unlinked it and today I’ve been locked out off my account, been trying to change my password but nothing is coming through to my email, it won’t let me submit a ticket online on the activation website , I’m so upset, I feel ill have lost my account and was really looking forward to playing today, I don’t want to start again I’ve had my account for years

This exact same thing just happened to me last night as well. Only I don't know how to gain access to my Activision account, I only know my Activision ID.

What can they actually do? How did they help?

Same thing just happened to my cousin and he just received the same response. I submitted a account recovery appeal to see if I get it overturned but still no response yet.

Nah it's your responsibility to keep your account safe. If you get banned you or someone who linked the account cheated. The account is gone. And your HWID is linked so most likely you will be banned every time you make a new account. You will have to "clean" your HWID or get new PC to play on,. Use a password that isnt linked to any of your accounts. I would give the site you could check data breaches. But is also used to hack people thus I will not.

You’re obviously retarded or something so let me break it down for you… yes of course I should have secured my account better, but you’re not gonna tell me I was cheating when I don’t even have a pc to play on dipshit
