Hopefully it won’t happen to you, but if it does, know that there’s a way to recover access to your account. Digital Information World reports:

There have been a lot of Google users complaining that their Gmail account has been hacked, even if they had 2FA enabled. One of the users said that their Gmail account got hacked and the hacker changed the recovery email and phone number so how should he get back his account. The good news is that you can still recover your Gmail account even if most of it has been hacked. Google offers a complete process to its users to recover their Gmail accounts even if the whole recovery information has been changed. You just need to follow all the steps thoroughly and wait until the process is complete.

Google offers support named as Securing a Hacked or Compromised account and the first step it states is that you should use a device you have used before to access your Google or Gmail account. It can be on Chrome or Safari and laptop or mobile phone as it can speed up the process for recovering your account. Always answer the questions by Google precisely and if Google asks for your most recent password, always give the one you had before hackers changed it.
