My iPhone has been stolen and the thief managed to log into my Apple ID.

Hi, my phone has been stolen and a thief has managed to hack my Apple ID and log in to my account. This is against all Apple commitments and security. Please let me know how this happened.

This is primarily a user-to-user support forum; other Apple users like you.


The way that usually happens is that the thief sends a message that appears to be from Apple (usually indicating that the phone has been found) and when you log in responding to that message you divulge your password to the thief.

If you responded to that message and logged into that site, that is how they got your password.
