Warnings for DNA researchers about the risk of internet -e -robbers
Researchers have said that DNA research is open to the Internet harvesters, and emphasizes that the existing gaps pose risks regarding the privacy of individuals, scientific honesty and national security. The researchers checked examples, of which the SO call was DNA order of the next generation, which is the quick and modern way of determining the order of chemicals in the DNA molecule, enabling researchers to analyze large amounts of genetic substances, discover the differences associated with diseases, drugs and other biological phenomena. The researchers in the IeEEEEEEEEEEE magazine, after a previously published studies, said that highly specialized instruments, technologies and software involve various gaps. Biological security added that since many DNA data groups are available to everyone via the Internet, there are many possible ways in which internet hackers can access information, it can abuse monitoring purposes, manipulation or malicious experiments. The researchers explained that among the gaps, for example, that the important chips used with DNA series are vulnerable to malware attacks, including ‘Trojan horses’ that can be hidden in the form of licensed programs. They added that the chip in question could rent sensitive sequence data, or manipulate genetic information, which introduces errors in the important genetic data needed for medical diagnosis and research. “Despite its importance, electronic biological security is still one of the most negligent research specializations, leaving a critical gap in global biological safety,” says Dr. Nisreen Anjom, a study leader of the College of Computing at the University of Portsmouth, Brits, in a statement. “To ensure that our DNA information remains safe and used only for good, we ask for more research and cooperation to find ways to maintain the safety of this strong technology.”
