Virgin mail users are facing the grunt of spam attackers. Tens of thousands of users have been cut off from their mails for the last four days.
The spam attack halted the delivery of all genuine emails after the attack started tuesday evening.
According to Virgin spokesman the mail were available in the respective accounts but access via webmail might have been taking a long time.
Out of the 200,000 people using the Virgin.net accounts half of them were affected. Virgin states that no emails were lost in the spam attack.
According to Virgin other ISP’s were also affected by this spam attack but none reported so far.
“All customers are able to access e-mail again now, though due to a large queue of undelivered e-mail messages, there may be a short delay before some e-mails reach customers’ accounts.”
But none of the cable service users were affected according to Virgin.
