Surely the pilot can take back manual control in such a situation. A plane hack?

Probably attempting to sign up online for Obamacare. "If you have an airline pilot, you can keep your airline pilot".

See “Boeing Uninterruptible Auto Pilot.”

If someone hacked the RQ-170 stealth drone and brought it down, as they have demonstrated, then perhaps they can hack the the B.U.A.P.

It’s entirely possible that the flight control software was somehow modified such that the pilots were TOTALLY locked out of making ANY inputs. Why no ‘mayday’? Perhaps ALL communications were turned off by the hacked software which commandeered the plane.
