| DNa Hacked |
A team of security researchers has hacked a computer using code written into a synthesized DNA strand.
The hack was done as a call to arms to the genetic data processing community to ensure best practices, and to stimulate discussion around DNA sequencing.
According to TechRadar, there's no need to panic about the University of Washington team's effort.
The point of the work that such security researchers do is to head off issues before they happen.
