Just five days after Apple CEO Tim Cook promised to increase the security of iCloud and iTunes, MacRumors reports that Apple has begun sending out email alerts to notify users when their iCloud accounts are accessed via the web.

Apple is also planning on sending out email alerts every time it notices a login from a new device, a password is changed, or anytime a device is restored from an account.

The new security rollout arrives just a day before Apple's highly anticipated product unveiling, where the company is expected to reveal its new iPhone 6 handsets and first wearable device for the wrist.
