If they had a way to affect our technology in a meaningful way at interstellar distances we can assume their understanding of mathematics is significantly more advanced than ours.

If their understand of mathematics is that much more advanced we can assume that their knowledge of cryptography is also much more advanced.

They'd probably be able to crack our encryption fairly easily.
