With USA military and unsupervised services, the primary goal is spending money. They DGAF about security of nuclear weapons in Europe. Those in charge don't even take any particular pride in their supposed "mission". This story could be helpful if someone in Congress were balking at a costly new IT project. Or it could be something else. From some sources, the signal-to-noise ratio is infinitesimal.
Also, why do you think a CIA-affiliated site would do a write-up on this? Seems like it makes soldiers and their secure info look bad.
