Hello, my iPhone 8 Plus was stolen and I took the steps to report it as stolen and erased the phone. FindMy says the phone was erased. However, today I got an email with the subject “Activation Lock is requesting your password on iPhone.” I’m worried that the person who stole my old phone may be able to access my information. I want to make sure they cannot recover anything from the old iPhone. Please help. Thanks

Hello czeman9,
From your post it appears you are concerned about the security of the data on your iPhone after it was stolen.
As long as you followed the steps in the article you came from, If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen, and received a confirmation that the iPhone was erased, everything should be fine.
Activation Lock is designed to prevent anybody else from accessing the device. You can find out information on how this works here: Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a good day.
