The basic avionics systems are the same - in fact the 757 should be easier to hack given that some of the system architecture is less advanced.
My issue with these stories is that there is never any detail over what system has been 'hacked' and what this hack consists of. Getting into the on-board wifi and turning off the IFE system would be inconvenient (assuming you could even do that) but would have no effect on the operation of the aircraft.
