Has my stolen iPhone been hacked? I had my iPhone 12 PRO stolen at the end of December. Through iCloud, I marked my iPhone as lost almost straight away. A month later, I got a notification that my phone had connected to iCloud at a location in Romania (I live in Ireland). Once i had set up a new phone, I tried to erase my iPhone 12 PRO and that is pending. Today I got this text message, which I am assuming is fake, can anyone confirm please? Many Thanks, Claire [Re-Titled by Moderator]
