Lithuania recorded a 63% increase in cyber incidents in 2025 compared to previous years.

Error detected

The year is incorrect: the 63% increase in cyber incidents refers to 2024 compared to 2023, not to 2025.

Omissions

• The MEP attributed the 63% increase to 2025, but all available sources attribute it to 2024 compared to 2023. The 2024 National Cybersecurity Status Report was published in 2025, which may have caused confusion, but the data period it covers is 2024.
• The claim says 'compared to the previous years' (plural), but the 63% figure specifically compares 2024 to 2023 (a single year comparison), not a multi-year average.
• No 2025 cyber incident statistics for Lithuania were found in available searches, so it is unclear whether the MEP had access to 2025 data that would show a different trend.
