I hope this is in the correct place, last night I was hacked on twitter. [View all]

I spent two hours going in a circle of reset password, email, change password and then the screen changes to a phone number I no longer have, I have done this from 4 different devices, I contacted twitter support, when I hit submit, it would freeze. Then one of my folllowers sent message, luckily was in my email at the time. They said I unfollwed them and they were seeing if I did it on purpose, I did not. I had over 1,000 followers some of them for a couple years.
This morning I gave up and started new account if anyone here followed me my name was Kristin@civicsnerd1, my new name is civicsnerd1@dewsgirlkristin.
If anyone has any advice on what to do about hacked twitter accounts, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm sorry this is so long, thank you.
