This document will explain my situation in full detail. I have provided images and screenshots for additional context in some places.
My account has been compromised/hacked and the password and email associated with my account were changed. I did not make these changes. The hacker changed my username and then got suspended by X.
<aside> ℹ️ Original Account Username: @ayushsoni_io Original Account Email (used to create account): [email protected]

My account username used to be @ayushsoni_io and was a verified account. It is linked on my personal site at ayushsoni.io at the bottom and my company website as well hex.inc. It is also linked on my LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/in/ayushsoni-io).
I am willing to provide any details necessary to prove that I’m the owner of this account. I created this account in July 2021 and have been using it since for business purposes. I also have receipts that I paid for X Premium as well as receipts of payouts I received as a part of your ad sharing program:
On August 25th, I received a scam DM on X where the hacker was posing to be a Support Employee. I, foolishly, entered my login credentials on a fake X website that was linked in this DM message. After this, the hacker logged into the account, changed my email, and reset my password immediately, and I was locked out of my account. Below are some email screenshots:
After this, I checked on all devices and found that I had been completely locked out. Now, the hacker was in control of my account [@ayushsoni_io at the time]. They posted one crypto related tweet (I don’t have a screenshot of this) that I was able to see from a friend’s account. I’m not sure how many DMs were sent by this account.
After this, I sent a series of requests to X support for help but was met with the same automated messages saying they had no means of verifying that I owned the hacked account.
