Hacked email account
I have 3 email addresses with the one Virgin Account.
One has been hacked and the hacker is trying to extort money. Does anyone know what should I do?

Hi JulesD,
Thanks for posting and welcome to our community 😊
Sorry to hear of the issue with your emails, so I can get a few more details from you, I've popped you over a private message.

Some starter suggestions here from VM
https://www.virginmedia.com/help/security/why-is-my-virgin-media-email-hacked
Have you re-used the email address and same password combination on any other online sites or services?
I you have, you should be changing those to a unique password for each one, changing security questions for each service and enabling 2FA where it is available.
A VM person should reply here, usually within a few days, and should help you regain control of the mailbox (if you still need it) or delete it if not.
