On the compromised email, change your Apple ID email address. Note the restrictions in the article.


Apple ID Name Change.  * 


Make sure you turn of Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
