Hacked is rather misleading, IMHO. They were able to access the unencrypted video feed with freely available tools.
Also, the problem is known for some years, but it was dismissed since nobody in the big wig department believed anyone could use it. Well, they were wrong, and my guess would be that they going to encrypt the feeds rather quickly, now that it had found its way to the news.
