Also, take all precautionary measures:
• Use a strong password and change it from time to time.
• Do not log in over unsecured WiFi
• Check for phishing sites, some would use the forum's interface and try to trick visitors into entering their login details.
10/10 will do that from now on. thanks Cheesy

How exactly where you hacked? If it was through an email compromise, then you will have to protect your address; use security conscious mail services, like protonmail. Do not expose your personal details and do not use the same address for multiple platforms, so a breach in one does not result in a breach in all.
Is the account still active? If yes, try restoring the password using secret question. This would lock the account and prevent the hacker from causing more damage.
If you don't remember the secret question, you can request that DT members tag the account, but you'll have to prove that it is yours for that to happen. Then follow the instructions in the link above.
As far as my research goes, the account is inactive after promoting some kind of altcoin (at around 2018), also the account is in an list of ignored people in some people's lists. I don't know how they hacked my account probably because of my poor quality password lol. Also it doesn't have a secret question sadly, i think it wasn't a feature back then (?( because i just exactly heard about it recently.
