You can simply ignore this notification if you haven’t stolen anything from anyone. This feature is very useful for the owner because he can keep an eye on what belongs to him.

Apple is always focusing on its users security improvements. Apple added LockDown Mode for iPhone as a security to prevent it’s data from any hacker. Now Apple is adding advance security for iCloud & iMessages. If any unknown device is signed in with your iCloud you will be notified. This feature is helpful for those who thinks their data is sensitive. Normal users should not be worry about because it is not easy to hack an iCloud or Apple server.
