Follow the advice here My Virgin media email has been hacked | Virgin Media Help and in addition do the following:

• sign into webmail
• select ⚙ > Security
• set Automatic sign out to 5 minutes
• wait 5 minutes for automatic sign out to occur
• sign back in and set Automatic sign out to previous value
  
  FYI: this is a workaround to try and sign out of other webmail sessions

I had the same issue.  Lots of people are and I am not sure anybody on the forum is helping to resolve this quickly.  Disappointing your urgent message has not had a reply after a couple of days, as Virgin staff are apparently working on this forum.

I suggest you do what I did:

Email dpo@virginmedia.co.uk, highlight that there is a data protection breach and aks for an immediate response.  Don't give them more than 24 hours without chasing and advise them you will hold them responsible for any losses resulting from the breach.  (You can follow up with the ICO and/or make a legal claim if this occurs).
