Yes. That position has now pretty much lost credibility, which in my view is no bad thing. I've had the good fortune to never experience actual war, but I'm pretty sure nobody with such experience, is in the slightest doubt about the difference between that and sabotaging computers, however annoying the latter might be. If cyber-conflict is going to take place, I think it's in everyone's interest to keep it at that level and stop it spilling over into war.
