Hackers could create malicious software that crosses the line from technology to biology, researchers say. Fortinet was the main sponsor of the Black Hat Europe security conference in Amsterdam last week. The comparison between computer and human viruses was made to give security researchers a better understanding of why the human immune system is so much better in battling viruses than antivirus systems. Biological viruses are not able to implement techniques comparable with encryption and antidebugging tricks, the researchers noted. Researchers speculates that human and computer viruses could converge in the future.”]
