Total bull****. I've installed such systems before and they are not linked to any other systems. The only link is via relays to control when the system is active (weight on weels, seatbelt signs etc), these are not data lines and cannot help to form a connection. Highly unlikely.

There was someone that proved that they were able to control an autopilot computer using an app on their phone that they created. However as soon as autopilot was disconnected, they lost control. That was still obviously an issue (as if small changes were made, the pilots may not be aware), and has since been addressed so that it can no longer happen.
