I normally try to stay away from politics in here but when Russia just decides to invade Ukraine unprovoked, I can't keep from commenting on this. It disgusts me to see what the Russian government and military have done. The Russian people have said they are disgusted and ashamed also at what Putin and his cronies have done. The rest of the world feels the same. I'm not going to go into depth with my view on geopolitics except to say I thought I'd never see this in my lifetime but here I am. I cannot do anything but hope that the invasion is stopped as soon as possible and peace can ensue. I know that Ukraine has been, over the centuries, part of Russia and whatnot but I'd have hoped that Russia had moved beyond that. I was wrong. I stand with Ukraine and its citizens. I wish its military all the strength they can muster to resist Russia's advances. Man really is an adversarial creature. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-04 Page 2 7 Mar 2022 ================================================================= ARTICLES ================================================================= This AI can detect DNA that unlocks backdoors in lab software From: https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/25/dna-security-healthcare/ === This AI can detect DNA that unlocks backdoors in lab software The 4D chess equivalent of a supply-chain attack Nicole Hemsoth Fri 25 Feb 2022 // 23:03 UTC How's this for a security threat? A backdoor hidden in lab software that is activated when fed a specially crafted digital DNA sample. Typically, this backdoor would be introduced in a supply-chain attack, as we saw with the [81]compromised SolarWinds monitoring tools. When the lab analysis software processes a digital sample of genetic material with the trigger encoded, the backdoor in the application activates: the trigger could include an IP address and network port to covertly connect to, or other instructions to carry out, allowing spies to snoop on and interfere with the DNA processing pipeline. It could be used to infiltrate national health institutions, research organizations, and healthcare companies, because few have recognized the potential of biological matter as the carrier or trigger of malware. Just as you can use DNA in living bacteria to [82]hold information, this storage can be weaponized against applications processing that data. When you look at a typical sequencing process, the DNA strands go into a sequencer, which creates a digital file that the computer connected to the sequencer analyzes. As you can imagine, this is how you can introduce malicious but otherwise valid, sanitized data into a lab, via a sample sent in to process. The University of Nebraska's Sasitharan Balasubramaniam, one of the leads behind a recent exploration of these vulnerabilities and what it means for the emerging field of bio-cybersecurity, has detailed this threat - and also ways it can be enhanced, and caught in time. This isn't science fiction Back in 2017, in one of the rare biosecurity [86]research works focused on DNA sequencing, researchers at the University of Washington synthesized DNA so that when converted into a digital file and fed into an application, a security flaw was exploited to open a backdoor network connection. That research relied on a vulnerability being present in the code, either accidentally or deliberately introduced. The new effort builds on that, and involves trojan-horse software, and a small and simple trigger in the DNA. "What's significant here in our FGAZ 18-04 Page 3 7 Mar 2022 work is that we looked at all the ways to hide this in the DNA and all the most efficient ways to do this so the code couldn't be found," Balasubramaniam explained. "There's a concept in DNA research called steganography, which is used frequently in DNA coding. Using that we could hide this small bit of code very efficiently." The good news is that using a deep-learning technique his team developed, it is possible to spot sneaky DNA manipulation. More on that is explained [90]in the team's paper. It's important to note the threat goes far beyond healthcare companies or national health services. At stake is not just the possibility of human patient data being manipulated once systems are compromised. Think of a large agricultural research company with massive volumes of genetic research. "What we're saying here is that the impact is big: we need a rethink of how systems are secure, not only from the handling and storage of this data but how the data is sequenced and processed," Balasubramaniam said He and team are not aware of this rethink happening in real organizations yet but the risk is pressing and requires new emphasis on biocybersecurity research. When The Register asked if sequencing companies were aware of this threat, Balasubramaniam said definitely not. "We want to create awareness so that these companies aren't just thinking about anti-malware from a cyber-infrastructure standpoint, but from a bio-infrastructure one as well."

It will take years, perhaps even decades, before all the consequences of February 24, 2022 become clear. It is finally dawning that a European country is under attack by a dictator. FGAZ 18-04 Page 4 7 Mar 2022 Why do we make the same mistake over and over? Well, that's only a problem in the Balkans, we say, until a murder in Sarajevo triggers World War I. Ah, that Hitler is threatening Czechoslovakia is "a quarrel in a country far away from here between people about whom we know nothing," as Neville Chamberlain said. And well, Stalin's robbery of distant Poland after World War II was none of our business until we were in the Cold War. We did it again, not waking up until it was too late and seeing the full implications of Putin's capture of Crimea in 2014. And so now February 24, 2022 is going down in the history books. Here we stand again, clothed in nothing but the rags of our lost illusions. At such times we need courage and fortitude, but also wisdom. And make sure to choose the right words. This is not World War III. But it is already much more serious than the Soviet invasions of Hungary in 1956 and of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The five wars in the former Yugoslavia were terrible, but the international risks were less great. There were brave resistance fighters in Budapest in 1956, but Ukraine today is a fully independent and sovereign state with a large army and a population that declares it will fight back. If they don't resist, this will be an occupation. If they do, this will be the biggest war in Europe since 1945. The Ukrainians face one of the strongest armies in the world, well-trained and equipped conventional troops and about 6,000 nuclear weapons. While Ukraine many years ago was the 3rd largest nuke-power in the world, it dropped it in exchange for safety. Russia is now the world's biggest rogue state, commanded by a president who ... judging by his hysterical diatribe the previous week ... has lost all sense of rationality, which dictators always do sooner or later. To be clear, when, in his Thursday morning declaration of war, he threatened anyone "who stood in his way" with "consequences never seen before in history," he was indeed talking about a nuclear attack. In the end, the Russians themselves will have to stand up and say they've had enough. There will come a time to reflect on our past mistakes. If we had made a serious effort in 2014 to help Ukraine defend itself, if Europe had been less dependent on Russia for its energy, if we had drained the dirty Russian money swamp of London, if we had imposed more sanctions, we might be better off now. But we must now start from where we are. In the early fog of the war that has just begun, there are several things we need to do in Europe and the West. We must strengthen the defense of every square meter of NATO territory against any possible attack, cyber attack or hybrid attack. This will be especially necessary on the eastern borders with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. For 70 years, Western Europe's security has been built on the "one for all, all for one" principle of the NATO treaty. Like it or not, FGAZ 18-04 Page 5 7 Mar 2022 the security of London is inextricably linked with that of the Estonian city of Narva, that of Berlin, of Bialystok in Poland, Rome or Cluj-Napoca in Romania. We must provide all possible support to the Ukrainians. There is only one threshold that we must not cross: we cannot enter an outright war with Russia. The Ukrainians who choose to stay and resist will do so with all the military and civilian resources at their disposal, to defend the freedom of their country. That is their absolute right, legally and morally. Inevitably, the limited international response will bitterly disappoint them. Like the Czechs in 1968, the Poles in 1945 and the Hungarians in 1956, the Ukrainians will say that we, their fellow Europeans, are abandoning them. Yet we can still do something. We can continue to supply weapons, communications technology, and other logistics equipment to a country that legitimately responds to gun violence with gun violence. In the slightly longer term, we can support resistance movements that fight the occupying forces and a possible puppet government. And we must be ready to receive the flood of Ukrainian refugees. The sanctions we are imposing on Russia must also go beyond what is before us. So far-reaching economic measures, but also expulsions of Russians who have any link with the Putin regime. With his $600 billion war treasury and his hand on the gas tap to Europe, Putin can put up with it for a while, so it will take some time for those sanctions to take effect. Ultimately, the Russians themselves will have to stand up and say they've had enough. Nobel laureate Dmitri Muratov and countless others have already expressed their horror at this war. In that regard, read the touching story of Ukrainian activist Natalia Gumanyuk, about a Russian journalist who was crying on the phone while Russian tanks rolled into her country. That horror will only increase once the bodies of young Russians return in body bags, and once the damage to Russia's economy and reputation is revealed. After all, the first and last victims of Putin are always the Russians themselves. Which brings us to a final, crucial point. We must prepare for a long conflict. It will take years, perhaps even decades, for all the consequences of February 24, 2022 to become clear. In the short term, things are definitely not looking good for Ukraine. But I am reminded of the delightful title of a book about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956: "The Victory of Defeat". By now, just about everyone in the West has understood that Ukraine is a European country that is being attacked and dismembered by a dictator. Today, Kiev is teeming with journalists from all over the world. That experience will change their image of Ukraine forever. After the end of the Cold War we harboured FGAZ 18-04 Page 6 7 Mar 2022 quite a few illusions, but now we are reminded again how countries should put themselves on the mental European map: ....with blood, sweat and tears. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-04 Page 7 7 Mar 2022 ================================================================= THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ================================================================= Thought Of The Week "If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you.
