By using DNA scientists infiltrate malware into the computer

Scientists from the university of washington found a new way to impose or attack computers using a special strand of DNA to hack a computer.

Quoted from the guardian, Monday (08/14/2017), the researchers made an artificial molecule like DNA to put it into the computer.

The researchers used base pairs in this study. They engineered the cytosine, adenine, ginine, and quanine pairings that were made as genuine DNA by passing malware into it.

"When a DNA chain containing malware is processed with special software, it can access the computer's security features, meaning that we can control the computer remotely using synthetic DNA in opposition," the researcher said.

But please note, this artificial DNA is only to be read by a computer that has software to sort it. Through that software too, the computer will change the code of molecules made into computer code.

Therefore, this attack can actually occur due to exploiting the weak security of the DNA regulator software. Although proven successful, the researchers dismissed the security of today's problematic DNA-breaking software.

The results of this study only intends to describe the DNA that can be used as a means of sending malware to computers.
