The thieves can then reset the victim's Apple ID password, turn off Find My, "view bank and email account passwords stored in iCloud Keychain," and more. All in all, the report says thieves can essentially "steal your entire digital life."

The first beta version update of iOS/iPadOS 17.3 brings the "Device Stolen Protection" feature. Once users find that their device has been stolen, they can restrict others from accessing their private information
