SQL injection attacks still happen, a LOT. Making sure your query only executes a single statement is not enough to prevent sql injection (depending on how you concat the query) - you just have to use the provided context to get/set data you need to escalate your permissions (eg if its SELECT stuff FROM table, you might be able to inject it such that your query replaces stuff and then you can select whatever the querying user has access to.) 2019: For its "State of the Internet" report, Akamai analyzed data gathered from users of its Web application firewall technology between November 2017 and March 2019. The exercise shows that SQL injection (SQLi) now represents nearly two-thirds (65.1%) of all Web application attacks. That's up sharply from the 44% of Web application layer attacks that SQLi represented just two years ago.
