One of the downsides of all such services is that the more successful
they are, the bigger a target they are.  And they're a tempting target,
since successful penetration would yield a wealth of data about every
client they have (if that penetration was limited to read-only access)
and possibly more, e.g., silencing alarms that would otherwise be
triggered (if that penetration allowed write access).
