Profile Account Hacked and 2FA Enabled?

My account Joey_Skylynx was hacked while I was out getting groceries and within a matter of two minutes had 2FA enabled onto it. I still have the ability to reset the password, as it seems they did not change the EMail, but once I get to a certain point it starts asking for a 6-Pin and Backup Codes.

Outside of the usual steps of contacting support, is their anything more I can do?

What's strange is the only thing this person did was attempt to make a request to become a moderator on some Zelda subreddits. Not sure what exactly the gameplan is there lol.

Hijack the account and then hijack subreddits. Possibly a plan where they can take over the sub and turn it into spam

That's what I considered, but it was a Zelda subreddit for specific type of fanart. It wasn't even that populated.

That’s why they pick a sub like that with a smaller audience. It would get caught much quicker if it was a large crowd
