Whenever I hear something like this it reminds me of the favorite talks I attended. The Iridium hacking talk at HOPE XI[1].
"When they talk about security they mainly talk about 'hey this is so complex, no one is able to do this, maybe a state or something like that'. So they say 'it will probably be beyond the reach of all but the most determined attackers.' We went well ok, we are determined."
Additionally don't forget to add in the human aspect of this, the attack may be detectible to somebody in a clean room that is expecting it, but the same attack on a real pilot in flight may work because the human is not expecting it, is distracted, a little tired, paying attention to adverse weather etc
