I am wondering how big a deal this really is for EA. To me the admin/support account that was selling content to me would have been a bigger deal since what it could do versus code that probably has very little value to anyone but EA.

In the hacker's mind: Oh look, we're in, what shall we grab? Games in development? No, let's grab FIFA21 which is the same as FIFA20-19-18... (I think this hack could have been hugely worse, though it's not great as it is). - - - Clearly quite the turmoil at EA today. My contacts there understandably can't discuss it.  |

The way I am seeing it right now I think this is mostly a black eye for EA's tech support team. After looking online to see what people can already do to hack and modify Frostbite I don't think this has the golden gun for hacks like some posts I have seen think it is. I also doubt it has anything to do with their MTX/Ultimate Team content for I bet that would be in an area that is more secure to prevent unauthorized access and protecting player purchases from issues. I remember with Mass Effect 3 MP when I would use the rest of my BioWare Points on a pack or two after a DLC there would be times the transaction wouldn't complete, but the next time I log on it would show up when I log onto the servers.

No one likes EA, but it's a bit tasteless to celebrate them getting hacked.
Still, it doesn't look like they lost anything substantial. CD Projekt got bent over when they were hacked. EA seems to have taken it in stride.

EA seems to have taken it in stride. As long as it destroys predatory practices like FUT, which have driven many people to poverty from gambling addictive behaviour, I am all for it. Everything else, yeah, it is unfortunate.
