same here, 3 or 4 years ago.

Neither EA nor my local police department was any bit of help. (Long story). I suspended the accounts for about 6 weeks, after which point I discovered that I had suspended them before the hackers were able to move some of my stuff off of my account. So, they got 30 mil gold or so and all of my armor, but I was able to save my vet rewards and heritage items.

Now, all of my accounts point to nonexistent fake email addresses. Since EA gives no way to change your username, once a hacker knows what your username is, you're forever a potential target.

Very good advice - be aware though that if your email account is hacked, it doesn't matter how good your UO passwords are... the best addendum to the advice of using complicated passwords is to change your passwords frequently and not to use the same password for multiple accounts (as inconvenient as that is!)
