Open DNS Resolver Vulnerability

Question

HiI have had 4 messages now from the security team at Virgin Media I have tried all the suggestions that i can find on here.&nbsp; I have a question on my router I had UPnP enabled.&nbsp; I have disabled this now.&nbsp; is this likely to have been the problem.&nbsp; I also saw in the logs on the router a local IP that did not seem to be attached to any of the devices on the network.&nbsp; since disabling UPnP this seems to have stopped showing up in the logs.&nbsp; just need to know how do I know if the issue is now fixed and there does not seem to be anything I can go to on Virgin Media to test it or to get them to test it again.

Can anyone tell me how virgin media generate the emails.&nbsp; As this might help with getting this resolved.&nbsp; I asked on WhatsApp but as I'm using a 3rd party router they shut down even answering any questions about the email.
