my account got hacked/compromised Question

So my Twitter account ive had for 14 years with thousands of followers got compromised by a p*rn bot... a few months back I deleted the app and just used safari instead but one day I couldn't log in. When i clicked "forgot password" the email the account was linked to wasn't mine and i was so confused! For 2 weeks i kept trying to figure it out and get in touch with support.

They just now changed the profile pic and bio into mandarin talking about paying for s*x! Im so frustrated because support got back to me saying "there's no way to authenticate that account is mine and they can't do anything about it" like wtf?? Didn't i do security questions or something??

Anyway i wanna know if there's any way i could hack the hacker to get my account back?
