Oracle Cloud Account was hacked - How to Regain Access

In this post I want to share a step by step guide on How I regained my oracle cloud account. During googling on this problem, I saw many people with the same problem and no information on how to proceed.
I tried to solve in Oracle Support Live chat but the attendant said to post my problem in Oracle Forum Community and vice-versa.

I created a Free Tier Account just for Certification purposes that expired last month.

Few days ago I received two e-mails from Oracle Cloud warning me that my Default domain password and Default domain email were updated.

After a lot of searching on the internet, I found this video below on YouTube that helped me a lot and so I decided to turn it into this guide.
