Authorities in Lithuania recorded nearly 4,000 cyber incidents in 2025.

Error detected

The claimed figure of 'nearly 4,000 cyber incidents' is documented as the 2024 total (3,874), not the 2025 total. Available evidence indicates 2025 recorded approximately 2,900 incidents — a 25% decline from 2024.

The time period is incorrect: the NKSC's 3,874 figure pertains to calendar year 2024, yet the MEP attributed it to 2025 ('last year' from the May 2026 session).

Omissions

• The figure of 3,874 cyber incidents corresponds to 2024, not 2025 ('last year' at the time of the 2026-05-19 session). The MEP appears to have used the 2024 data point while attributing it to 2025.
• Only one secondary source (LRT) was found reporting the 2025 decrease; no primary NKSC source or second independent secondary source could be located within the search limit to corroborate the precise 2025 figure.
• The 2024 figure of 3,874 represented a 63% increase over 2023 (2,378 incidents), meaning 2024 was an exceptionally high year, making its extrapolation to 2025 misleading.
