I know EA are probably dumb enough to give away your email and password but how do hackers manage to get your security question, I just dont get it, because once they lock it they need your gamertag to unlock it and change it, but whenever youtubers get hacked its only their origin account and not their whole gamertag.

Keyloggers etc. If you are never using your passwords on your computer for your origin account you should be fine.
Keyloggers track all strokes typed in on your pc so they can then guess passwords from their

Occasionally you do come across a rare hacker who is just really good and can crack into a lot of things
