lzt.market hacking and selling accounts
My account was hacked a month or two ago, just seemingly to sell stuff on marketplace for a few quid. I changed my password and thought that was the end of it, but today a new problem appeared.

I can't play my EA Games, linked to my Steam account, because someone else's email is apparently suddenly linked to them on EA. This no doubt is the work of the hacker. I tried to get help on EA, but they couldn't help me because I didn't have the hacker's full email address. So I guess I lost my EA games forever.

That made me search for the details I have regarding the hackers email account, and I ended up on the Russian website lzt,market, where a few of the account sellers apparently share the email domain of my hacker. These guys are hacking and stealing our accounts and selling them openly on this marketplace! I'm pretty sure mine will be there soon, or perhaps already has been sold. Well, I can at least still log in and use mine, but it's definitely compromised. This is kind of unacceptable to me.

Has it happened to anyone else? I saw tons of Steam accounts being sold there. Is there anything we can do about this? I'm debating just deleting my account. I don't want to, but if I can't have it I'm not going to let a hacker have it.

Accounts are phished not hacked.

You gave away all your account details.

The account name, the password and the KEY to the door, the Steam Guard Mobile code giving them access to the account.

How? by either logging into a known scam site or sites, tailored malware on your PC, the vote for my team scam, you have a pending ban scam on Discord, free knife click the link etc.

How does Steam (a program) know it is not you when all the account details are correct? It doesn't, therefore any action taken on your account is seen as you doing said actions.

The alternative is not plausible:

1) Someone would have to "GUESS" your account name from "millions of possible combinations".

2) Next they would have to "GUESS" your password from "millions of possible combinations" and then match it to your account name with "millions of possible combinations".

3) And finally they would have to "GUESS" the Steam Guard Mobile code "which changes every 30 seconds" to match both your account name and password to then have access your account.

Yeah, I might have malware on my PC, that's possible and not a crime, but that doesn't mean I should be victim blamed and have no right to be upset about this. Why aren't more people pissed off about this? I did contact EA and as I said, they can't help me.

Regarding your EA account:

I contacted EA and was able to prove ownership of the account. I am simply wanting to unlink them and do not want the lost account back as it belongs to someone I am no longer with. They refused to unlink and state they would have to change the email to my email instead of leaving it as is and unlinking my account. Unsure how to proceed but super frustrated as I was able to prove ownership.

after years and contacting EA several times, I still have this problem and it's so incredibly frustrating. I hate EA so much

You have to contact EA's support because steam doesn't handle all of this.

Thank you. I did contact EA, they can't help me because the hacker or phisher or whatever is now linked to my account, and I don't have their full email address. EA requires that you give them the linked email address. I did tell them I didn't think this system was very smart.
