If it was conducted properly, it would have been fine to not inform me.

They made it way too hard to spot that anything was off until after you’d clicked something in the email, combined with blasting 2000+ people with the email at the same time.

Our employees are trained to call helpdesk ASAP at any sign of potential issues where your credentials have gotten stolen, hundreds of people called in the first 10 minutes of the email being sent out because they had opened the email and got scared and thus called, I got called in from my vacation by one of the people on my team, and I called everyone else in from vacation.

I should’ve absolutely been informed about this. But considering how fucking dumb whoever did the test was, I’m not surprised I wasn’t. The KPMG consultant who was clearly not an infosec person at all got fired after this.

I report any and all emails from anyone on the CSIRT team as suspicious.

They did a phising test targeting every employee without informing me (internal ITSM lead) first. So they deserve the extra work, and my entire team does the same.

Yeah it started sometime in 2022. Though also for Windows 10.

It also has some hardware requirements, so most older laptops wouldn’t have the issue.

Or just turn off fast Startup in the power settings.

I meant that you can thankfully disable it with group policy so that the 3000 laptops I manage at work don’t all cook in backpacks every day.

A lot of modern windows laptop don’t let you shut them down.

They use something called Windows Hybrid Sleep and it should be illegal. Selecting shut down in windows will keep the machine in a state where it will turn on at random times to check for updates. Especially fun whrn in your backpack creating a furnace.

Thankfully it can be disabled via AD policy.
