How is this different from the computer running the fly-by-wire system or FADEC of any fighter since F16?

Once you have a computer between you and the flight controls or engine, you are entirely exposed to hacking if an enemy manages to get into your software. The fact that nobody has managed it yet suggests it ain't easy....

This is just a moron article.
