That is an incredible understatement. Disrupting key infrastructure would be considered an act of war if it was done by a state actor. I'm not sure what the equivalent characterization would be for a non-state actor.
I do realize that in this case, as reported, the hack involved the IT systems and not the operational systems but I think my point still stands.
