localized infohazard leak targeted content spread small-scale unauthorized dissemination
🚨 Major Breach $118.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline
Widespread linguistic/semantic contamination requiring large-scale public mitigation, mass retranslation campaigns, and major international coordination.
