Origin account hacked and email changed

Last weekend I had a great game lasting for almost 2 hours.
Logged out for dinner and when trying to go back in the evening I was requested to log in with user name & password.
To my surprise I was not able to start up, and to my very big surprise I received an email message from Origin
telling me that I successfully changed my email address!? Hence totaly locked out of my account.

After several days of pure frustration finally got assist of EA and they informed me that a Russian had taken over my account!

They resetted my email account back to what it was before hence I can run matters again.
Everything is now back to order except for one last frustration: I have a wrong profile name and lost all your bunch as friends!
Does anyone know what I have to do to to get my EvilDurian name back & hopefully my original friendslist?

On a serious note: thats [f*cked]! I guess u have tried this: http://www.origin.com/dk/change-id ?

I get a lot of spam from what I assume is bot friends on Origin <sarcasm> great service BTW </sarcasm>

I trust the same as in Dutch :flasher:

And no he did not rank me up, I played for 3 hours in a row on their bloody server.
That's how they apparently get access to your Origin account.

Immediately excluded the russian servers from my filter.
