Someone Hacking My EA Account?

Hey all, been a while since I've posted (though I post a lot in Off Topic).

 

Earlier today I got a notification in my email requesting a password change for my EA account. I disregarded it, as there is no way whoever is attempting to change it also has access to my email. Then when I got home I got a notification on Origin saying I can only be logged into one system at a time, and I had to go into Offline mode. I was able to go back online, but I'm not sure what to make of this.

change both your email and EA password for security. Also, see if you can add 2-factor auth

EA support is really good at this. Only things you need is to prove that account belongs to you. Idk if they need scan of ID (Blizzard requires it). But receipt on some purchase will definitely do.
