AI attacks on critical infrastructure hit 72% in Q4, but stats questioned

According to @AIRiskExplorer, about 72% of operations in Q4 2026 so far have targeted critical-infrastructure sectors, up from 32-47% in the previous three quarters, with healthcare and education facing some of the most sophisticated attacks.
@Jsevillamol pushed back, arguing the figure may be explained by reporting lag—critical-infrastructure attacks are more notorious and more likely to be disclosed—and offered to be corrected.
