The thought is that many people were caught for leaving the editor open while DBD/EAC is running. Maybe also EAC can scan your saves or files. I think it's also possible some people were caught for entering the wrong perk or item name when trying to manually add it to a character
I would just edit the number down to a few of each and stop hacking items. Or hack on just an alt, if you want to experiment... but not on your main account.
Edit: Also consider keeping your profile to private
