Urgent: Hacked Virgin Media Email Accounts – Need Assistance

Hi,

I’m looking for support regarding two old Virgin Media email accounts that I previously had when I was a Virgin Media customer. I cancelled my Virgin Media account when I moved home, and I now live with my partner, who currently has an active Virgin Media account in her name.

The two email addresses in question are:

  • one ending in @virginmedia.com
  • one ending in @blueyonder.co.uk

Both email accounts have remained active since I left Virgin Media. Recently, it appears that both have been hacked. Although I can still access them using the original passwords, I’m unable to update the passwords.

When I try to log in via https://mail.virginmedia.com/appsuite/, I receive the following error:

"This Virgin Media email address isn’t valid."

I understand that email addresses must be linked to an active Virgin Media account in order to be managed. Could you please advise:

  1. Is it possible to link these email addresses to my partner’s active Virgin Media account so I can change the passwords?
    or
  2. If that cannot be done, how can I have these email accounts permanently deleted/deactivated since they have been compromised?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

  • Just to clarify, the active Virgin Media package in our home — the account is simply in her name rather than mine. I wanted to confirm this in case it affects whether my old email addresses can be recovered or linked to an active account.

  • Hello adam982,

    Welcome to the Community, and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re experiencing with your email accounts.

    We wouldn't be able to associate the email accounts to your partners account but we will be able to delete them from our system. Would you like to go ahead and get this raised with our support team?

    Kind Regards,
