Free-tier Account Hacked and Email Changed

Question

It seems its my turn this morning for their long-term dormant free-tier account getting hacked. I received two emails that my root emailid was changed and so was the password. Then I get an email that my budget threshold of $19 has been crossed. All the support documentation on the "Password/Account Recovery" wants me to either be the root emailid (which I am not) or follow a series of steps that requires account access. I have done the following -

Sent an email to ec2-abuse@amazon.com
Created a new free-tier account and created a case ticket and awaiting a callback.

Is there anything more I can do?
