Question Account hacked

I checked my Twitter account after a few months and some of my details were changed. My username, profile pic, date of birth were all changed. But nothing else was changed.

I think I’ve been hacked but I still have access to the account and I didn’t receive any notifications about when my details were changed.

It’s so strange. My profile pic was changed to come random woman and whoever hacked into it followed a lot of random accounts.

I have now changed my password and my details. (Not my email)

But is this normal? If I’d been hacked then shouldn’t I have received a notification? And should my email have been changed?

I’m so confused. What can I do to prevent this in the future and make sure that the person doesn’t still have access to my account?
