We took a sample of approximately 1.5 million public-facing NTP services reachable, and out of those, roughly 200 000 provide enough details about their underlying version and architecture to perform a targeted assessment of their Y2K38 vulnerability risk. Almost 60% of the reporting NTP servers are still running on old 32-bit operating systems.
