But the article also says less than 2% of the "attacks" resulted
in a successful intrusion.

2% would be an embarrassingly large success rate for intrusion on a
"secured" military network.

Not to mention the definition of "attack" the article seems to use. After
all, a DoS or a probe doesn't actually result in an intrusion, even when
they're successful.
