"A New World for Hackers: Acoustic Side-Channel Attack"

A study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine and the University of California, Riverside highlights the possibility of launching acoustic side-channel attacks on DNA synthesizing machines. The acoustic noise made by a DNA synthesizer can be analyzed hackers using machine learning algorithms to determine what type of DNA is being produced by the machine. Hackers can use this information to produce harmful pathogens. This article continues to discuss the study on the potential stealing of DNA synthesis information by hackers through the execution of an acoustic side-channel attack.
