If you need any other type of proof that I was hacked, I can get that for you. Please DM me on discord to get this info. My discord is "terpa".
Any future accounts used in an attempt to bypass the EAC ban are also subject to being banned as well. We do not condone ban evasion."

So basically, it does not matter how old the account is or who cheated on it. For example, just because my account is nearly 20 years old doesn't mean something (besides morals) is stopping me from cheating on it. Your account’s security is your responsibility, and leaking the credentials or access was most likely your fault.
Your appeal was already denied multiple times by EAC staff and there is nothing the community can do for you. This is a general topic community forum, not a cheater support group. You can discuss your bans with your cheat provider.

Sure do wish steam support was better. If they were to maybe uh… look at my ip or something… they could maybe JUST MAYBE… see that my account was logged in at a different ip and area. They could ALSO see that during the time that I was VAC banned, my account was logged in on a different ip. Damn… sure do wish steam wasn’t some indie game provider with only 10 people working at it…
Jokes aside, I wish the rust community was helpful, and would take some hints that I’m asking THEM for help on what to do. I’m not asking for a steam support member to respond to my post on the rust support forum.
How do you know that my appeal was denied multiple times? I haven’t even put an appeal in. I’m not even sure how. The reason for this post was to ask about how I can do that.
There was absolutely no reason to be rude when commenting under this post. It was a genuine question that I wanted answered. If you aren’t going to answer it, then don’t reply. You didn’t give me any sort of answer that isn’t already known. Accusing me of hacking and having some “cheat provider” isn’t going to solve the problem that I am having. I don’t play this game. My friend asked me to play it yesterday and I had to tell them that I got banned for pretty much no reason on my end.

Sure, no reason. Same story like always.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like an EAC ban is reversible, even if your account being compromised and taken control of was the cause. EAC bans are typically permanent. The best thing you can do is just create a separate Steam account just for this game, and you’ll have to purchase Rust again. Make sure you enable 2FA on the new account as well if you choose to create it; the same goes for your email address, as this hack appears to have stemmed from there and not solely on Steam. It seems a lot of hackers use this kind of strategy when it comes to Steam games — they’ll breach your account, sell off items/cards/skins, target any PVP game(s) in your library and get them EAC or VAC banned before Steam can really take notice of any suspicious activity on the account. It’s happened to several people on this forum and others, so it’s not an uncommon issue.
You could also contact the game devs and/or Steam support about your ban, though hacking or account compromises are typically treated as a fault of one’s own, regardless of the safety measures you may have taken with your account. I’m not sure what contacting EasyAntiCheat would do, if anything. They’re not really known to have a timely response window, if they respond at all. Best of luck homie.
Which is exactly ban evasion and he will be banned again soon as he goes past the refund window. Afterward he will be back here explaining how he did nothing wrong xD
Nobody can just breach your steam account and is not common at all since there are no known exploits for over 10 years. You have no proof whatsoever and just making this up as you go.
Go ahead hack my account, cheat in Rust and sell my skins...you have my legal permission ;) Just do it before I die of old age or laughter hahaha
Oooh, yippee!! This guy again! The subculture is real!
You may have missed the part where I mentioned that he contact the devs or EAC to see their response on the account hacking issue. — If their response ended up being in his favor, then he’d know that the ban could be lifted from his account, though this is unlikely, as, yes, his account security is his responsibility. In the sense of Steam and the Rust devs’ policies, yes, it would be considered ban evasion if EAC or whomever was unable to provide a positive outcome of this situation. However, I do have proof that this stemmed from a breach in his email and led to a number of accounts linked to that email being compromised as well, including a few of his social media accounts and bank account. This information was shared with me on the day that this happened (a little over a month ago) through Discord.
“Nobody can just breach your Steam account” is a bit of an ignorant argument. Anyone can be hacked in any way at any time, regardless of account security. Online security isn’t something that is perfectly absolute — there are flaws that people are bound to find and there’s probably loopholes someone with the knowledge of hacking could get through. Fortunately, for your case, Mr. Horse-head-guy, I have absolutely no knowledge of how to hack into or breach any form of security. I’ve had no logical reason or desire to learn. And I would say that telling someone that they have your “legal permission” to hack your account on a public discussion forum doesn’t exactly look very bright, regardless of whatever far-fetched point you were trying to prove…
But, perhaps it *will* happen to you one day, and then *you’ll* be the one trying to explain that you were hacked, and that you weren’t cheating! How cool would that be? Anyways, I hope you enjoy your day. You’re a fine addition to the “cheater accusations” subculture of Rust. Be proud!
They didn’t breach my steam account dude, they hacked my emails. From there they got all of my social medias, and all of my other accounts. I had to fight with so many support members of so many different things that I almost gave up. I don’t know if they hacked on rust, or if they were banned for another reason.
Stating that I have no proof just isn’t true. You haven't asked for any sort of proof, and are just making false claims. Maybe if you wouldn’t half-ass your arguments, then you would have asked for such proof, and then helped me. But you want to be an annoyance to this community.
If you did your research, then you would see that people getting hacked has just gotten worse and worse over the years. I’m just going to state that I have never been hacked before, and this was a first for me. Almost every gaming platform I have was hacked. This is because my EMAIL was hacked. They saw that I was getting emails from those things, then changed my passwords. Though, you would rather think your some high and mighty god and think you are “all knowing”.
There are some actually nice people on this forum, and I see that you are not one of them. It would have been greatly appreciated if you wouldn’t have been so rude, and had actually helped me. But once again, you would rather stay on your high horse, and think you know everything.
Now, if you want proof, then please take the stick out of your behind, and kindly ask for it. I stated that I can in fact give it to you in my first posts. You have not asked a single time for this.
If you would please excuse me, I’m going to go and play with some friends. I think you should get some of those.
Its pretty much only these guys commenting on a lot of these posts. You can look at their recent posts, and they are pretty much doing the exact same thing here. He's just trying to be the judge of someone and not giving anyone a chance to speak their truth. They are making cheating allegations when they know nothing about what happened. In my opinion these guys are worse than the actual cheaters in these games. They are overly negative, and know nothing about what they are saying. They are more than likely sitting in their moms basement, and are giggling in their seat kicking there feet around, and saying "hehehe... yeah we caught him with this one...". They stated I don't have any proof of me being hacked, but they have no proof of me hacking. They are hypocritic man babys.
As a matter of fact, you're so worried about it that you write essay-sized sob stories three times a day.
This account ruined other people`s fun and is permanently banned...can't be used to cheat anymore. Man up and take responsibility.
This isn't the place to discuss your ban issues. If you have any gameplay related questions or actual game exploit to report, feel free to ask, and I'll gladly assist with whatever is within my power.
babe he did re-secure all of his accounts after this 🩵 he’s only here asking for help on how to go about submitting a claim to whomever he needs to because a friend of his asked him to play rust, which he can’t, so that’s how this type of post ended up here. i don’t know why you’re so insistent on accusing everyone with this issue as a cheater. “ruined other people’s fun” lmao let’s take a break
he’s here with a question that he didn’t know where to post, and rather you directing him elsewhere/the correct place to go for this issue, all you did was quote a policy and call him a cheater.
"The EAC ban cannot be removed regardless of who was using your account at the time it was banned.
Any future accounts used in an attempt to bypass the EAC ban are also subject to being banned as well. We do not condone ban evasion."

That's all there is to it. It doesn`t matter who cheated on the account and you know that very well by now ;) There is nothing to "claim" or to appeal in this current scenario. The policy I provided is the exact answer you will get from the publisher. Bans for cheating are permanent. Have a nice day
Perhaps the “Creating a Support ticket or a ban appeal will not cause your ban to be removed,” “EAC bans apply to the account even if it was hijacked at the time,” and “The EAC ban cannot be removed regardless of who was using your account at the time it was banned. While we understand this can be frustrating we must have a zero tolerance policy for cheating to foster a fair game that players will enjoy. In order for a zero tolerance policy to be effective we must hold users responsible for the security of their account,” should’ve been included in your message instead to clear things up at a glance. Just a thought. You had no reason to be rude and accuse someone of something they didn’t do. It’s really not necessary.
I’d drop this thread and go about your day, in all honesty. Sad to see that you had to suffer because of a hijacking. Refer to my message above this one about the zero-tolerance policy. Game bans must be discussed with the game’s developer/support team, not an exploit discussion thread, but I could understand why you’d ask around, seeing as how this thread is filled with people who have issues with being banned.
If your friend is still wanting to play in this game with you, I’d suggest you both purchasing it on Xbox or PlayStation, as those two consoles can be cross-played. I don’t really think it’s worth it, honestly, but it’s up to you and your friend(s).
Another note I’ll add is that your account probably got compromised due to phishing and/or malware. I’d go back on any security and antivirus programs on your PC and do a check and see if anything was caught around the time of the hijacking. You may have already caught it after checking and re-securing your accounts shortly after the incident — not sure if you mentioned that to me on Discord or not. Always good to do routine checks, though. As for your skins and trading cards, those aren’t coming back, either. There’s not really any positive outcome to this since the blame would automatically fall on you. Still astounded they managed to make it through Steam Guard without you noticing, but I guess with your email getting hacked first, it would make sense.
Awesome, thanks. Was it that hard to be nice?
