Agreed that all of the "omg, APT" in there comes off pretty badly in light of the reported details. APT has more or less been poisoned as a term lately (see comodo, etc.) and amounts to the latest scapegoat scenario. "See, we can't be blamed! It's an APT!" is what I'm betting the RSA board hopes is the take away here.
Of course they could also know something pretty significant that they're not telling. What was taken and how tough it was to get at internally could be a flag. If there was a really significant or telling element to the attack it may well be that they've been asked not to reveal it. Not that I'd bet on that side of the line.
