>Customers will receive push notifications when someone tries to change the password for their iCloud account, upload their backed-up account data to a new device or log into their accounts for the first time from an unknown device, the company said. The notifications will be added in two weeks.
>In the past, Apple customers were receiving emails only when someone changed their account password or logged in from a new device. They received no notification or email when someone loaded an iCloud backup onto another device.

If your secure system has a way for a number of third parties to conveniently and quickly gain clandestine access, that means that someone who's not in the group of third parties that you intended to permit access will inevitably gain access.
