Boffins from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev described a new cyberattack on DNA scientists that could open to biological warfare. Researchers used a malicious code to circumvent screening protocols to scan for potentially harmful DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. Virus could manipulate the residue Cas9 protein transforming this sequence into pathogens. The researchers also explained that threat actors could carry out man-in-the-browser attacks against software used to design and manage synthetic DNA projects to inject arbitrary DNA strings into genetic orders.”]
