It can only be gotten by connecting an iphone or itunes to it and then attacking the computer itself. If you remember hearing about "The Fappening" last year, the way it was done is that someone pretending to be an icloud user was able to keep trying passwords on a Windows machine until they managed to guess correctly. They then downloaded a backup into itunes and then went at the contents with an emulated iphone to extract those photos. We fixed that issue by ensuring that if you guess your password wrong five times, then you get locked out.

But all the hijinx was done on a local computer, they never got at icloud itself. Everything is encrypted from YOUR end with a hash generated by your ID, password and your passcode lock code. It gets sent up encrypted, comes down just the way you sent it and there's no way for Apple or anyone else to be able to decode it.

Hope that helps.
