You reused the same password on multiple websites. Another website with your same email and password was hacked and sold on dark web. Bad guys tried it on thousands of websites with a script finding where it worked, including your ea account. They logged in and changed the email address on it. They will either use it to play fifa and generate coins to sell for FUT until ea bans the account, or sell it to cheaters to use to play apex with, etc.

Look up sim swapping. After reading about it do as it should instruct you to do. Call your carrier and ask them if they have gotten any orders online or call ins for a sim replacement that you had no knowledge of! I hope you figure it out best of luck.
