In your group, keeping information secret via note-passing or one-on-one conversation might not be cause for concern. But when you're dealing with a new player (or character) whose motivations and intentions are completely unknown to you… that might be a good time to ask what their deal is.
Story time! If you like, leave a comment with a story of a player (not an NPC) who ended up backstabbing the party in some way.

DM: As you get your bearings in the central plaza, you see a bright pink pony coming down the street. Pinkie Pie: Ooh, ooh, that’s me, that’s me! Twilight Sparkle: Thank goodness! After all these NPCs, it’s nice to just talk to another- Pinkie Pie: (GAAAASP) (ZOOM!) Twilight Sparkle: Uh… Hold on. Did that actually happen? Pinkie Pie: (scribble scribble) Twilight Sparkle: Is that… a note? Are you… WHY ARE YOU PASSING NOTES TO THE DM?!? DM: I didn’t plan this.
