ECC isn't a direct mitigation against Rowhammer attacks, as memory errors caused by three or more flipped bits would still go undetected (unless you're using ChipKill, but that's a rare setup).

However, flipped three bits simultaneously isn't trivial, and the attempts that flip fewer bits will be detected and logged.
