>The multidisciplinary team at the University of Washington isn’t out to make outlandish headlines, although it’s certainly done that. They were concerned that the security infrastructure around DNA transcription and analysis was inadequate, having found elementary vulnerabilities in OPENSORES software used in labs around the world. Given the nature of the data usually being handled, this could be a serious problem going forward.

this is a new level of paranoia

ITT an idiot who found headline and read to the point "open source"
>OMG! I will make a great suicide watch thread on /g/!!!

While in fact, people who found vurnability were looking for one to be ahead of attacker and make open source software secure.
