Content Geoff Manaugh bldgblog Holy crap. Malware hidden in a strand of DNA hijacks the computer that analyzes that particular gene sequence. wired.comstorymalware- In new research they plan to present at the USENIX Security conference on Thursday, a group of researchers from the University of Washington has shown for the first time that it's possible to encode malicious software into physical strands of DNA, so that when a gene sequencer analyzes it the resulting data becomes a program that corrupts gene- sequencing software and takes control of the underlying computer. While that attack is far from practical for any real spy or criminal, it's one the researchers argue could become more likely over time, as DNA sequencing becomes more commonplace, powerful, and performed by third-party services on sensitive computer systems. And, perhaps more to the point for the cybersecurity community, it also represents an impressive, sci-fi feat of sheer hacker ingenuity.

The silent killer of build systems: auto-detected indentation. One developer uses tabs, another uses spaces, and suddenly your Makefile implodes because it requires exact tab characters for rules. The editor helpfully "fixed" your indentation and now your CI pipeline is a burning building behind you while you smile, knowing exactly who to blame. Nothing says "welcome to dependency hell" like watching four months of work collapse because someone's IDE thought it knew better than GNU Make's 1976 tab requirement.
