HACKED: Hacker can reset passwordsome how without having access to my email.

HACKED: Someone managed to answer my security questions and has taken over my account.


The only reason I know is because I got a message about someone resetting my Apple password (I haven't used Apple products in 15 years).


They don't have access to my email so I reset the password but can't login or reset the security questions because they've reset them, they've also reset the name of the account to a Chinese name.
