Despite Windows BlueKeep exploitation freak-out, no one stepped on the gas with patching, say experts

I was just listening to Security Now, there was a new BlueKeep exploit last week and it crashed many of the exposed servers - turns out that the malware was using a hook for the Meltdown mitigation and the servers that were crashing didn't have the Meltdown mitigation from Microsoft installed. If patches from nearly 2 years ago haven't been installed, I doubt that this one will be either!
