Hacked account question

Hi,
I received an email that stated that a new email address was added to my PayPal account, and I did not recognize the email address, so I clicked the link that stated "If you didn't add this email, let us know right away." When I tried to log in, my password didn't work, and when I clicked "forgot password", the website stated "There's no account associated with this email address or username." I assume someone hacked my account and deleted my email address from the account; so, I've had to create this new account in order to ask for help here. Should I be worried in this situation about identity theft/charges being made to my bank account (I did not have my credit card information on my old account, it was only linked to my web banking), or should I just forget about the old account and begin using this new account going forward?
Thanks!
