As The World Turns

I had planned on a few things for this week's 'Gazette but with what's
happened in the world the past few days, I'm feeling a bit more
somber. 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.

This AI can detect DNA that unlocks backdoors in lab software

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." (R)

Russia is now the world's biggest rogue state
By Ward Dossche - 2:292/854

Based on an article I picked-up somewhere,
too good to pass up and annotated / changed
adapted for clarity.

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.

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. He has the same dreams, the same
hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors."
