The article includes a month-by-month graph of incident counts, broken down by company, that shows the "skyrocketing" behavior starting in March of this year.

The article notes that the data is incomplete, but that only means that there are more incidents than the graph shows.

But what it doesn't note is where the data is incomplete.

If they started actively looking for incidents in March of this year, and the previous months are just whatever they happened to notice on social media, then it could be both true that "the data is incomplete" and that "there has not been a skyrocketing of incidents".
