EAC suspension turned into steam ban?
I recently logged into my Steam account after taking a long break and noticed a highly concerning notification regarding my account status. I have not launched or played Rust since March, and when I do play, I strictly play alone as a solo player(I have <100 hrs). I have never used cheats, scripts, third-party software, or macros of any kind to gain an unfair advantage in the game. Despite this, the initial Easy Anti-Cheat suspension message has now officially escalated into a permanent, red Game Ban visible on my public Steam profile.
I am completely blindsided by this penalty and do not understand how a ban could be issued while my account was entirely inactive. I am trying to determine if my Steam account was compromised by a hacker who cheated while I was away, or if a harmless background program on my PC triggered a false positive. I would greatly appreciate any advice from players who have successfully appealed an EAC ban or who know how to get a human representative to review the case.
Edit: Just checked my steam account activity and saw someone from Munich gained access to my account despite having 2FA on. 🤦🏽♂️
Edit 2: I put in a ban appeal, and it got denied DESPITE PROVING THAT THERE WAS ACTIVITY NOT AUTHORIZED BY ME. This game fucking sucks
