If you have 2 factor security set up on the account and they still got in then your 2 factor security code is also compromised.
I'd secure that and reactivate it immediately.

So sorry to hear about this, ssm00.
If the account got deleted, I don't think there's anything we can do, but can I send you an email, so we can investigate internally?
