Media I saw reported that the personnel info published was all publicly
   available. Thus the intent was to create the impression that networks
   were compromised. Govt line however is that the info was not
   confidential. I haven't done any research however to confirm even the
   face validity of that.

     Not at all.  It is possible (maybe even likely) that whoever wrote
     the
     press release about it was told to omit any mention of the personnel
     data in an attempt to downplay it.  People will remember what was
     talked about, not what was conveniently not talked about.
