Consider: they are going to send these pop-ups to systems that they have reason to believe -- based on externally-visible evidence -- are compromised. So, either those systems are compromised or they're not. If they're not, then they're annoying people who have nothing to fix, and the result of this will be training those people to ignore the pop-ups.
