While this isn’t a book about computer viruses, it offers a chilling look at the dangers posed by real-world viruses and bacteria. I found it to be a fascinating read, and it left me especially concerned about the future of cyberbiosecurity in the age of AI.

Cyberbiosecurity is one of my favorite intersections. It looks at the intersection of Biosecurity, Cyber-Physical Security, and Cybersecurity. The aim is to protect the world's bioeconomy, which is incredibly wide open for malicious actors to attack. Here's a summit on it that's worth a look.

EFTA00137401 | EFTA00137419 directed students and staff to "shut down any school-issued devices and to keep them powered off until further notice." A statement said "administrators are working with authorities to work to resolve the issue." Report: Government Should Get Serious About Supply Chain, Cyberbiosecurity. Gov Info Security <https://www.govinfosecurity.com/sizing-up-synthetic-dna-hacking-risks-a-15477> (11/30, McGee) reports on "malicious code that compromises the synthetic DNA supply chain and ultimately tricks bioengineers into inadvertently developing dangerous viruses or toxins" that could be injected by hackers. According to a new report, Cyberbiosecurity: Remote DNA Injection Threat in Synthetic Biology, "that's a growing concern and calls for robust security measures." The study, "by security researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel sizes up the cyberthreats facing the emerging synthetic bioengineering segment of the healthcare sector." One author wrote, "We have seen the federal government get serious about supply chain with their Cybersecurity Maturity Model rolling out this year." He added, "That includes more than 300,000 companies in the Department of Defense's supply chain — so it can be done to scale." Report: Excessive Job Requirements Suppressing Supply Of Cyber Professionals. The Wall Street Journal <https://www.wsj.corn/articles/companies-urged-to-adjust-hiring-requirements-forcyber-jobs-11606732200> (11/30, Rundle, Subscription Publication, 7.57M) reports that the International Information System Security Certification Consortium's (ISC2) November report found global employment in the cybersecurity field would need to grow by 89% to fill the roles needed. Millions more cybersecurity professionals are needed, but the report found excessive requirements are the problem over an insufficient number of workers. For instance, said Forrester Inc.'s principal analyst Chase Cunningham, "We've created this self-licking ice-cream cone of misery that continues to drive the narrative forward that we don't have the ability to solve this problem, or we don't have enough humans." Law Enforcement Services FBI Reports Decline In Background Checks For Black Friday Gun Purchases. USA Today <https://www.usatoday.corn/story/news/politics/2020/11/30/fbi-posts-slight-decline-black-fridaygun-checks-during-record-year/6462379002/> (11/30, Johnson, 10.31M) reports, "The FBI posted a nearly 8% decline in background checks for Black Friday gun purchases, even as the coronavirus pandemic, volatile social protests and election-year politics have driven a year-long surge in firearm sales. While the 186,645 checks represented a slight drop from 2019, this year's number still marked the fourth-largest one day total on record." Breitbart <https://www.breitbart.corn/politics/2020/11/30/report-186000-firearm-background-checks-on-blackfriday-2020/> (11/30, 673K) reports, "This year has been a record for NICS checks in America." In early November, the National Rifle Association-Institute for Legislative Action "reported that the number of checks conducted January 2020 through October 2020 alone represented `13% more checks than the previous busiest year for the NICS office.'" The Hill <https://thehill.corn/blogs/blog-briefing-roorn/news/528009-black-friday-fourth-largest-one-day-gunbackground-checks-FBI> (11/30, Budryk, 2.98M) reports, "The U.S. saw slightly fewer Black Friday gun sale background checks compared to a year ago but still posted the fourth-highest total on record, according to the FBI." The FBI "recorded 186,645 checks the day after Thanksgiving, down about 8 percent from 2019. While checks do not correspond directly to sales, they are typically an indicator of demand.

During arguments in the Georgia police officer case, "the justices pushed a Justice Department lawyer to explain how a ruling in the government's favor wouldn't open the door to prosecutions of innocuous behavior." Cybersecurity experts at the trial "described the CFAA as a sword hanging over the head of researchers who probe computers for weaknesses with the goal of helping their owners fix the flaws." They wrote, "Under the government's broad interpretation of the CFAA...standard security research practices - such as accessing publicly available data in a manner beneficial to the public yet prohibited by the owner of the data - can be highly risky." UK To Block Carriers From Installing Huawei 5G Gear From September 2021. CNET News (11/30, Keane, 1.99M) reports that Huawei "had predicted that 2020 would be 'difficult' for Huawei, and there certainly have been challenges." For instance, in the UK, Huawei equipment "must be removed by 2027 - a decision that Huawei found 'disappointing' as 5G becomes increasingly mainstream - and UK carriers will unable to install Huawei gear from September 2021." Foreign governments are concerned over Huawei's "coziness with the Chinese government and fears that its equipment could be used to spy on other countries and companies." The US "banned companies from using Huawei networking equipment in 2012 and why the company was added to the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security Entity List in May 2019, following an executive order from President Donald Trump effectively banning Huawei from US communications networks. A year later, Trump extended the order until 2021." Alabama School System Sends Home Students After Cybersecurity Threat. The AP (11/30) reports that Huntsville City Schools in Alabama on Monday "announced that students would be dismissed beginning at noon because of a potential cybersecurity threat." The school system directed students and staff to "shut down any school-issued devices and to keep them powered off until further notice."
