Second email address (ntlworld) on my Virgin Media account has recently been compromised. Shortly after receiving a malicious email, it became totally inaccessible. Very alarming situation causing a great deal of anxiety which is only increasing.
Could anyone from the Virgin team please assist with recovery of the email address?
Many thanks.

Hi @jle_33 thanks for reaching out to us and a warm welcome to the Virgin Media Community Forums. 👋🏼
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the email you are experiencing.
Are you able to recover the account by going through the password reset link?
Are these issues you are experiencing web mail or app issues? I.e. Outlook etc.
Let us know.
Kind regards,
Ilyas.

Ilyas, thanks for the reply.
I am unable to reset password using the link. The account appears to have been taken over. Prior to this I received an email in my virgin mail inbox headed "ALERT! I'm hacked you and stolen you information". Almost immediately my Ebay account was also targeted.

Kind regards,
Ilyas.
