Activation Lock is requesting password from lost iPad My iPad was stolen on 05 May 2023. I have put it on Lost Mode ever since. Recently (on 09 Jun2 2023) I received an email from Apple with the subject 'Activation Lock is requesting your password on Asira's iPad'. The email is quite generic and I do not understand how it was triggered. If someone is in fact trying to open my iPad, they must have been connected to the internet for this email to have been triggered. If they were connected to the internet then why was 'Find My' not able to trace it? Also, in that case, if we send a formal request from the legal authority of our country, will Apple be able to trace the IP address of the network from which this request was triggered?

"Activation Lock is requesting your password..." on a device that was stolen over a year ago. I had my iPad Pro stolen about a year ago, so I check in on 'Find My' every once in a while just in case a miracle happens. I recently received an email from <noreply@email.apple.com> saying "For your security, Activation Lock requires your Apple ID and password, or your device passcode, before anyone can reactivate and use your device." Does this mean there is a chance to find it? I checked 'Find My' first in case it was a fake email and the iPad Pro still has no location found.

Stolen phone - spam My phone has been stolen and the person who stole it is trying to request the activation code. What are the chances the person can get into my phone and see my personal files? I have already received some spam messages since it was stolen 3 weeks ago.

The thief wants your password so they can make use of the device. Ignore it.
