Hi there,
My account just got hacked and it feel bad,

I tried to click on "Secure my account" on the email that I got when email was changed, but it's not working ("page not found")

I still have the original email, any ideas what to do?
 
Contact Instagram, and have them send a login link to your telephone. Use that to login and change your details.

How? they don't show any contact forms
 
1) Go to www.instagram.com on your browser, press forgot password, put in your email/handle

2) you will get an email to change your password, change your password, you will still get "Help us confirm you own this account",

3) then to your phone, log into your email, go to the mail where it says your password was changed, you will also see "secure this account", click it and your logged in your account.

I and many others had a problem where it would say "Help us confirm you own this account" today, but I'm not exactly sure if you have the same problem, but I will still post this

Really the guy said he got hacked and your advice is to change his password?:))
Clearly the person that hacked him changed the email so any forgot password email will go to the new email.
There is no way to report your account hacked,not unless you have acces to FB support.
The only thing you can do without FB support is move on.

I know, but it could be that he got "Help us confirm you own this account", as I know many got it on their accounts yesterday.

This sounds more like phishing/dns poisoning than anything. What do you mean 404 on the secure link?!
