Hi @curse56545654,
Sorry to hear that. It's never a great feeling to discover your account has be used by someone else, in this case your brother, and that they broke the rules while on there, leaving you with the ban. That does suck. A ban in that scenario isn't a false one though, it's correctly applied. You see, you're responsible for the activity on your account:

We all have to do our part to protect the account, yours includes ensuring only you are accessing your account on your devices and limiting who can play as you on there (i.e. it really should only be you playing on your EA accounts/games as account/game sharing isn't allowed).
If your brother, or anyone else in your household, regularly uses the same device and you want to ensure that only you are playing the games on your account, consider password protecting your accounts and adding a Login verification codes so only you can get past the security measures. I'd also recommend removing your account from shared devices so that it's only accessible from your personal device. That should help prevent others playing as you on your games from your device. I'll share some help guides on how to set-up some of those security features below:
- For PC: Log out of your EA/Steam account when done (don't auto-save password) and add Login Verification/Steam Authenticator
- For PlayStation: How to use security best practices on PSN (especially step #3 and #4)
- For Xbox: Create and manage a passkey for your Xbox console
