Q: iCloud account was hacked

without being able to analyze the actual email you received... it is possible that what you received was a variant of a Phishing SCAM

If you have any concerns after changing passwords, let us know.

FYI

Phishing & Other Suspicious Emails 

  Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - Apple Support 

  Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support

How did you change your passwords? Did you click on a link in the email?

good point

I got an email from apple(iCloud) that my emails were now being forward to ********** @gmail.com, at 1:59 on Jan30, 2017.

My email address is not ********** @gmail.com.

I caught this around 5:00pm on the same day and immediately signed onto icloud and changed my password and added two-factor identification.

I seem to have lost all emails from about the time of the change to 5:00pm on the 30th.

All of my history is still there. I'll also check my credit cards etc., although I'm pretty sure that there's nothing in my emails referencing that info.

Have I done enough?

If you did not click on the email - instead signed into the icloud normally -- contact apple cloud support to find out what is going on.   Your mac mail id (account and aliases) regardless of extension belongs to you.   I did receive @icloud.com emails where someone matched and alias I set up in @mac.com - so the other person may be wondering if they were hacked by you so apple has to settle it.

it seems there are some "green gremlins" in MANY 'behind the curtain' systems (?) - makes one wonder...

I went to Safari to go to iCloud. You said I need to contact Apple Support directly, How do I do that?

When I had the issue I send feedback through the email application & also was able to inform the other person that they had duplicated my alias when they forwarded email from a company account.  

On the bottom of this page - click on Contact us & it should give you the info you need.

If you don't accept input from the real users - its what happens.   It is not easy to give apple feedback - and its not how many users update to new software - its really how many didn't.

Very good then - see my comment below > HERE

IMHO, this is a perfect example of needing to Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support is it not?
