While the ACARS messages have been confirmed as genuine, I would continue to exercise caution when treating the ECAM warnings on face value. These are computer generated messages, and they could occur under two conditions:
1) a fully functional system, operating as designed
2) a compromised system, with unpredictable behavior

In the second case, the messages only indicate a fault with the entire system, and have nothing to do with any nominal fault displayed.
