Hi,

several press publications about the exim exploit give different exim
installation numbers.


The Hacker News: "...which runs almost 60% of the internet's email
servers today..."
                                "...leaving at least over half a million
email servers vulnerable to remote hackers..."

Heise Security: "Shodan names over 5 million server
<https://www.shodan.io/report/vRKzLpdS>; 175.000 in Germany alone"

Wikipedia: "In August 2019 a study performed by E-Soft, Inc.,^[3]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exim#cite_note-3> approximately 57% of
the publicly reachable mail-servers on the Internet ran Exim. "

The question is, what is the reality?



Best regards,
Marius
