Treating cyberattacks as an act of war, would make it WAY too easy to set up war between two countries you don't like. Attribution can sometimes be very difficult. Thus, and probably this if for the best, we don't see cyberattacks treated as acts of war. If they did enough damage in the physical world, it's possible they would be. But, since we had to read about these "hacks" in a news article about hacks rather than in, say, a news article about widespread blackouts in Germany, it does not appear that these did all that much damage. Problematic, for sure, but mostly at the nuisance level compared to, say, lobbing missiles or shooting people.
