Virgin media.com email hacked

[Carkun]

Hello, I have a very old virgin media.com email address. I no longer have any virgin services but have been able to continue to use the email address. Unfortunately my account has been hacked. The hackers are using my email to book hotels and are also accessing my accounts such as Netflix. I can’t log into virgin media.com mailbox to change the password as the email is no longer recognised/supported.  I have tried to contact virginmedia but they can’t advising they can’t help because I don’t have an account. Any help on who to contact ?? Much appreciated

Hi. I also need help with the very sand situation please. I have been hacked, unable to recover account due to it being very old and apparently disconnected already but it’s not. I need help urgently as they use many of my accounts to book hotels etc. etc,

Hi @Karin2 👋 Thank you for your post and welcome to the Virgin Media Community 😀

We're sorry to hear about what's happened 😔

In order to look into this for you further, we'll send you a private message on here. Look out for the envelope in the top right-hand corner. If you're on a portable device with a smaller screen, click on the icon in the top right-hand corner and select "messages" from the additional menu options.

Regards,
Daniel

Hello, I also have an old virginmedia.com email account. And have just been made aware that it has been hacked. They have already attempted to and gained access to several accounts connected to the email account. I have no idea what to do as I can't even gain access to the email to change the password. Any help would be greatly appreciated
