My phone (iOS 16.6.1) got stolen mid-September, I marked it as lost immediately. Next day I received phishing SMSs to login so I could track latest location of my phone which i didn’t fall for. My phone remained off, location was in the same spot until maybe 2 weeks ago when I checked Find My app and noticed it showed “No Location Found”. I figured that it showed that status because the phone had been off for close to 2 months. On Friday morning (17th) I received 3 more phishing SMSs but somehow status on Find My app had not changed from “No Location Found” which I ignored, did not click on the links at all. On Saturday morning I received an email stating that Find My had been disabled on my phone. Now the phone is missing on my device list so now I know it’s been erased/wiped out. I’d like to understand how my icloud account got hacked into/compromised without me sharing any details and any best practices because I thought I had bricked my phone. I plan to blacklist the device on my local carriers this week, hope this is possible?

    These thieves do this often it seems like. I wonder if they have someone working inside Apple that’s assisting them.
