This story, which includes official ackowledgement of something that has been going on for weeks (or maybe months), shows just how prevalent so called "information warfare" tactics are becoming.
The military seems to have adapted to this problem fairly well, but there will be future attacks. It's important to remember, though, that this isn't just a case of the military trying to "catch up with the internet." Information asymmetry and the denial of, or intereference with, communications and signals intelligence is nothing new for the military.
In fact, quite the opposite, much of the technology we take for granted today (wireless, the internet, radar, satellite communications) was developed, at least in part, by the military to address these information warfare issues.
