Hey!

I'm transferring data from an old phone to a new one and in the process the new phone asked me for the password from my Apple ID which I consider normal. After that the new phone started to ask for passwords from ID I really don't know anything about arguing I have apps purchased with those ID.

I'm totally puzzle because I really don't know anything about those ID and all my apps have been purchased with my ID. I never ever have lost my phone or something similar and in my iTunes list of purchases there is nothing I don't recognize for a moment.

What the hell is going on? Is this a security problem from Apple's side?

PS/ I've asked the same question in the Apple's support communities https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251272292 where I've seen that there are other properly answered similar questions.
 
Not a security problem on Apple’s side. This is caused by downloading pirated music to iTunes then syncing that music at some point in the past to your phone.

Oh! Interesting…

But I understood that I was transferring phone data, not music. Actually no music was transfer to the new phone until I connected it to the computer and synced it.

If you were restoring from a backup then most likely some of the music on your old phone became part of that backup. Sometimes iCloud music sync can cause this.
