[2019] Client Update Caused 205 Error and Ban

I got home from work last night (11pm EST) and downloaded the update and was met with an insta-ban. I'm not going to bother pleading my case that I don't cheat because no one cares.

The ban email didn't come until after I downloaded the update and the date of ban says "effective January 25th, 2019". I received a 205 error instantly and then the ban email. This leads me to believe that downloading the update triggered something incorrectly. Seeing this EXACT issue happen to someone else leads me to believe this is a wider issue. Be careful when downloading the updates, you might be left with a banned account and no recourse.

EDIT: Since it's evident BSG won't acknowledge any mistakes, are adament that their anti-cheat never returns a false positive and it's clear Nikita is NOT here for honest players like he claimed a year ago, there's nothing left to do. I will stupidly purchase the game again despite how the company has treated me because EFT is my favorite game. Thank you all for your responses.
