Feb 3, 2016 7:28 PM in response to thelibraby Jay-Ray,★HelpfulTechnically they could restore it to any compatible device unless you encrypted it. About encrypted backups in iTunes - Apple Support
I would also recommend securing your computer to prevent these sort of issues. Guest accounts are great for this type of thing.

Feb 3, 2016 7:30 PM in response to thelibraby Jay-Ray,Passwords are not stored in the backup unless its encrypted, so if that app requires a sign in (which I believe it does) in order to operate, they wouldn't have those details auto-filled.

Feb 3, 2016 7:40 PM in response to thelibraby Jay-Ray,If they stole a copy of your iTunes Backup there would be no way to tell unless they successfully gained access to one of your accounts after restoring. In that case, I would like to think you might get an alert or email of some sort indicating a new device has signed in depending on the service. If you honestly believe someone may have stolen a copy of you backup, you should report it to the police. This type of thing is called cyber crime and is completely punishable in most areas.

If they copied your back up file from your to another computer, once they did so, you'd have no way of knowing what they did with it.
Pur a password on your computer.

They can use a backup extractor program and see all of your content on the computer unless the backup was encrypted. No need to restore.
