Apparently it has happened to an Airbus once before.

Why do I get the feeling both of these are a diagnosis of exclusion, and there's not particularly any hard evidence that radiation is causing these uncommanded manoeuvres? How unlikely is it for Airbus models specifically to be vulnerable to radiation-induced data corruption twice in almost twenty years? Are there similar incidents recorded for Boeing jets?
