Over time, yes sensors DO COLLECT more dead pixels.
In theory when you boot the camera up, it's supposed to detect and turn off or hide those pixels.
BUT
sometimes if can loose that register of dead pixels, or maybe even be overflowing with the number. Things can co wrong and the dead pixels no longer are hidden and suddenly become visible.
You can try a power cycle in this circumstance, try to keep the camera very cool.
But once they are there, they are there forever. And another myth of digital sensors being better than film for longevity (of equipment) is killed
