Virgin Media customers say their email accounts have been hacked, but the company denies any security breach.

Virgin users are reporting spam email is being sent from their email address to contacts in their webmail inboxes.

“Somebody has hacked the contacts in the webmail system and the first I knew about it was when I got an email from my son saying he'd been spammed by me and it looked as if my account had been hacked,” said PC Pro reader Dave Forth, echoing concerns on a Virgin Media forum thread on the issue.

I don't normally use my VM email but I logged into the webmail and it seems fine to me. I only have one contact there and that's one of my own emails and I've received no spam from the VM email.

I'm getting this.

Looks as if it's getting addresses from the VM 'Sent' box.

Very annoying. Who should I contact?
