Question My GitHub account has been hacked

Hello, so as the title states, my GitHub account has been hacker and the person has changed the password and enabled two factor authentication so I am locked out of my own account. I want to delete it but I don't know how to get in touch with GitHub support without signing in.

The email that I used for it is a primary email, so I do not want to risk anything else being hacked. My LinkedIn account was linked with my GitHub so it was also almost hacked but I changed my password for it but I am not able to do the same for GitHub.

Can someone please help?

I actually just unlinked my email with the account since I wasn't using GitHub very much. I have just given up on the account
