The first incident that I've heard about was in 1982. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_pipeline_sabotage for details.

Electronic and signals warfare has an even longer history; RDF in WW1 and earlier, and of course Enigma/Colossus and the RADAR war of ww2. I wouldn't consider these unrelated to cyberwarfare.
