It is not an old post, it was published yesterday.
I do not play eve anymore because I found myself just sitting in the chat channels, and not even bothering to trade anymore, so now I just hang around in the IRC channels instead.
If the entire article was about that one incident, I would agree with you.
However, the incident is one part of the article, which goes on to describe events up to recently.
So yes, if you only read the opening, then this article is old news, and is only about the event.
If you read the rest of the article, it is about how Eve and the community have developed over time.
