This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

I wasn’t the owner

You are the owner. For Apple, your IT department is the thief.

The owner of the account owns the device. It’s a standard on all smartphones and tablets for the past 10 years.
