Sorry this has happened.

Storing ALL of the keys in a Faraday pouch will completely mitigate the risk of the so-called 'relay attack'.

The fobs you have cannot be turned off or isolated and there's no updated software (in itself) which will help.

Volvo can supply updated keys as an accessory which have updated hardware to prevent relay attacks. I understand that they automatically switch off if they aren't moving.

Have a look here: https://accessories.volvocars.com/en...CC-518815/2018

Don't expect the updated keys to be cheap. I was quoted £375 for a single key a couple of months ago.
