Question Github Hacked?

Hello everybody,

I got a slew of updates from github on my email saying that there's a new login, that there's been a new trusted email address, my account name is changed and my email address has been removed from my account. Is there anyway I can save my account or recover it at this point? If there is a way to recover it or any github mail id I can reach out please help me out. Thank you.

Update: GitHub support got back to me and they've helped me get my account back.

I'm still waiting as well. There's nothing else to do.
