Depends on whether someone send them a telefax to inform them
that they are behind.

It is an approach that was relative common 40 years ago,
but rather rare today.

Note though that unless you have some advanced security
mechanisms in place, then it may actually not be a bad
policy. There has been a lot of malware attacks in
recent years via reputable software repositories.
