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.
You're not surprised because it's virtually impossible to tweak things like that client side. After an incident about that a few years ago where someone broke the encryption between the server and the client and managed to inject things directly into the Gamespy servers EA uses to do the rankings, they shored it up very fast. Some GSP probably got lax with security and allowed a client direct access to a server, and that client managed to botch things up.
Again, that's just my hypothesis, but it's a probable one.

We appreciate the opportunity to assist you and look forward to getting you back in the game!
K, word from EA is it was a server side problem. Although the evidence of a dodgy server spoofing scores is high they say it's a server side problem that effected many people randomly.
The guys are currently looking into a fix to set us all back.
random my ***. what a load of bull. they know people are injecting false stats into accounts on the master server, which is the only reason patch 1.5 is coming out.
What... an official DICE statement on BfPortal said this actually:

We have become aware of modified Battlefield 2 ranked servers once again that have had an adverse affect on the leaderboards and player accounts. We are working with our partners to prevent this from happening and to return the leaderboards to normal. If you believe your account has been adversely affected by this contact EA Support at http://support.ea.com.
After 3+ years playing BF2, and having nearly 2000 hours...I logged on yesterday to see that I have too been reset to ZERO. When I take a look at my stats...things just don't add up. I fear I have been hacked too. It's no HUGE deal...but I do miss my unlocks. I have a few other accounts with some of them, but my main account has been reset. I legitimately EARNED my 3 star General Status. Now...I am a private once again.
And to think...this is the only game that I have ever played that nearly cost me my marriage....and now it is EA that farks me.
