"While Microsoft has released patches for Windows systems, even for older server and Windows XP machines, recent reports have revealed there are at least 1 million systems connected to the internet that can be attacked," reports The Verge. "Microsoft is confident that an exploit exists for this vulnerability," warns Simon Pope, director of incident response at Microsoft's Security Response Center (MSRC).

The EternalBlue exploit was leaked publicly, allowing hackers to create malware freely. This new BlueKeep flaw hasn't yet been publicly disclosed, but that doesn't mean there won't be malware. "It is possible that we won't see this vulnerability incorporated into malware," says Pope. "But that's not the way to bet."
