Recently my iPhone was stolen. The person who stole it managed to go to my VK page from my phone and change the password before I turned on the "find iPhone" function so that he was blocked.
Then I looked from which ip address this person came to my page and tried to google this ip address. I found one forum where one user often left messages using this ip.
I'm wondering if this means that the person from this forum is the one who visited my VK page? Or does it mean nothing at all?

There is such a possibility, but it is very far from 100%.

Most probably not. Now IP is dynamic for everyone. The probability of being found by IP is almost zero. If I'm not mistaken, IPs are now issued by providers and they can often match existing ones. Purely theoretically, you need to make a request to VK so that they can calculate the MAC address of the device from which it entered from this IP at that time (unless, of course, they see it) and then look for a machine on the network using this MAC address, BUT. MAC - you can also change it, though forcibly, and looking for a MAC network is a rather complicated undertaking. You can calculate, but no one will bother because of the iPhone. Now, if he had stolen $1M from a state bank, then yes, he would have been quickly found.

By ip, you can only find out information about the provider, but if you contact him with this request, you will simply be sent. all

it is necessary to foresee the possibility of loss and so on - and build your own security system from this

It is strange that no one suggested if
then he logged in from the victim’s mobile Internet, because she would not have had time to block the SIM card either. And no one in their right mind would burn their own. Well, or from some public point in the city. Therefore, someone correctly wrote that if there is no high-ranking acquaintance, then nothing will be found. 100%.
