iPhone has been hacked

Hello. I want to report a hacked iPhone XR mobile phone. On the night of the break-in, I wanted to help a girl recover her photos, so I entered her iCloud details. I notice that several more phones are tied to this iCloud (all the screenshots are below, including those with threats and with the iCloud that I entered) and realized that I was hacked. After 10 minutes, they block my phone with the inscription that it is missing. All screenshots and photos were taken on the night of the phone hack.

If you are the original owner, contact Apple. Apple can remove the ID  if provided the required paperwork to include the original purchase receipt with the serial number on it. 


Request additional support for unlocking your device.    -


You used to be able to take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened) and have them remove the ID. This may have changed, so call the store before going to make sure they can help.

You have logged out on your iPhone and logged the girl in, and so your phone gets linked to her Apple ID, like its hers. Do you know this girl further? Can you contact her and ask to logout from your phone?


We are an Apple users forum, users helping other users. I would suggest that you call apple support with this and also report it to the local law enforcement


And fair warning: never log in on someone else's iCloud on your phone. Especially when you don't know the person!
