We were hacked. Several times over the past two weeks, in fact.
While all passwords are encrypted and salted, it's recommended that you change your password here when you can.
Well men i do say thax will keep posting this happend to buddy mine after even bal said they goofed on his. I can't wait to talk to a human that poor soul going to get an ear full!
I'd say that it's a 95% or better chance that someone actually did cheat on your CD-key (you or perhaps somebody else). Punkbuster does make mistakes though but chances are you'll end having to buy a new copy of Battlefield 2. If you're innocent that sucks but look at it this way - it's the cheaters you should be angry at and not PB. While it's far from perfect PB does a pretty good job catching and banning cheaters (might take a couple of months though...). Without PB or the equivilent this game would surely be a cheater infested piece of crap.
Fifty bucks? You can buy unused legitimate Battlefield 2 CD-key off Ebay for less than ten bucks. In fact they were ten bucks 8 months ago so who knows how cheap they are now.

Not trying to be rude but i'm just wondering how can you possibly know how many cheaters or hackers punkbuster is catching?
All you get is a number on how many they have managed to catch you have no idea how many it didnt catch.
I once thought that it was doing a good job because the game didnt have any hackers in it. Then I saw some videos of aimbots and things and discovered the reason I dont notice is because (in bf2 atleast) these aimbots/hacks whatever just arent that good.
So if the hack doesnt really make you a better player than anyone who isnt cheating how are you supposed to figure out who's hacking and who isnt.
Wow, I love how you called me an idiot, yet you are the one that is appealing an even-balance global GUID ban, to a third party anti-cheat website.
Oh and good job posting your login to the support ticket, looks like someone had some fun with it.

no you wont be on any "ban list"....PB has removed that key from playability due to it being leaked
as a guess? did you install any "programs" that might be considered shady? a LOT of keys were stolen from a hack that was released...that sort of thing
given the records? you MIGHT be able to go thru EvenBalance and get them to tell EA that it was not a cheat and EA MIGHT replace the code....but I wouldnt hold my breath
Can anyone confirm that my cd key is gone if so man this sucks ! How when why !!
Look on the bright side - alteast you got your 2 star general and probably got your monies worth. You could of got banned from day dot ...
GL with the witchhunt.
The bright side is you can get another cd-key cheap, and keep your main account. Or if you don't want to spend money, just trade cd-keys with someone, it may or may not work.
LOL, I just checked your support ticket. Why would you post that screenshot?
I don't know when a person has 50,000 positive feedback chances are they're pretty trustworthy. My roomate bought himself a BF2 key on Ebay about 8 months ago like I said for about 10 bucks and it still works just fine. Got it by email in about 20 minutes.

Same.
I bought my BF2 Cd-key on eBay too from an Australian dude. Not had any probs.

I personally keep tabs on the couple largest online gaming cheating forums out there (which shall remain nameless) for new potential "threats" to keep an eye out for and I constantly see people posting about how they've been hardware/GUID banned. Do they get everyone? Certainly not. But they've still banned thousands of cheaters and most importantly I'm certain PB has discouraged many thousands more (I'd estimate the total number to be well over 50,000) from hacking when they otherwise might have if no risk was involved. The thing I like about PB is that is a anti-cheating platform that spans many popular games so a cheater whom was hardware banned in CS:S won't be bothering you in Battlefield 2. Prevention is the best medicine when dealing with serial cheaters.

I wonder how many of those secure CD-keys you guys bought at a discount have been compromised. I guess since there hasn't been a problem yet, that you assume there never will be one.
Three months as an Admin at a Guild Wars forum was more than enough first hand experience of all the whines regarding E-bay CD-key scams.
