Almost half of connected hospital devices are still exposed to the wormable BlueKeep Windows flaw nearly a year after it was announced, according to a report released this week.
The proportion of Windows devices connected to a network that are vulnerable is far higher, at 45%, it adds.
It affected Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, and Microsoft issued patches when it first reported the bug.
As with many patches, it has taken companies a long time to apply, and there is a 'long tail' of machines still online and vulnerable.
News of DejaBlue surfaced in August when Microsoft patched another two RDP bugs, this time affecting versions of Windows up to and including Windows 10.
