I just found out that my Google account has been hacked, and the hacker changed the password. Unfortunately, I didn't have any two-step verification set up since it was a personal account. I've tried everything I can think of, including using my old password, but it says that the password was changed three hours ago. I really need some help here!

The best thing you can do now is go to the account recovery page. Make sure you’re using a device and a location where you usually log in. This can help get you back into your account, but I can’t promise anything—the situation really isn’t looking good right now.
Just a heads up: personal accounts definitely should have two-step verification enabled. It really helps keep your account safe from hackers!
Unfortunately, if you didn't set up any security options, it's likely that your account is gone for good. It's a tough lesson, but always remember to secure your accounts with two-step verification in the future.
It's concerning that you didn’t activate two-factor authentication on a personal account. You really should contact Google support and see if they can help restore your access. Just remember, this could have possibly been avoided with better security measures.
