An old Apple ID of mine has been hacked

As the title said, I received a notification that in one of my old AppleID, password and birth date had been changed. I did not do it... and whoever did it set up security questions as well (in Chinese).


So I reset the password, but security questions in Chinese prevent me from doing anything or fixing anything on my side... that unfortunately I do not speak nor read... (my bad) Chinese. However, now it is unaccesible by me... probably accessible by the hacker...


... so they can set up frauds and that is an Apple problem if they do not get it fixed...

I saw other people had the same problem...
