Ann Arbor – October 14, 2026 -- Internet-facing AI infrastructure grew 63% in nine months to nearly 268,000 systems, according to the fifth annual State of the Internet Report from Censys. The report also counts roughly 134,000 Internet-exposed hosts running industrial control systems (ICS). About 70% of those sit on consumer and mobile networks, which complicates efforts to identify their owners and close the exposure.
