In this article researchers showed the ability to use biological DNA can exploit traditional software vulnerabilities. The team that conducted this created a DNA strand that once it was read would give the exploit to the computer software. When it comes to isolation techniques used in cyber security virtual machines is a common one. A virtual machine can easily be stood up and burned down with little to no trace. This keeps everything that is being done not in direct contact with the host machine. If malicious code was executed on a virtual machine the damage is contained in this isolated environment. This prevents the infection spreading to other laboratory networks, research data bases, or any other hospital systems. The ethical and security implication of biological data must be treated like all other data when it comes to cyber profession. Any media source must be treated as an untrusted data source.  Being skeptical of all data is common practice for cyber security. This comes in all forms such as emails links and QR codes. All these things may be common to a everyday person but there can be serious implications hidden in the code of these things. As automation becomes more prevalent in medical field the room for vulnerabilities is more likely. It is important that the medical field gets incorporated with the cyber security mind set specifically for bio data. The challenge is to allow new technology to streamline the sequences for the medical field but have a deep framework for security that ensures it cannot be exploited and weaponized to take down the system. 

The one thing that stood out to me is how crime itself has not changed. It is just happening through a new medium. With the technology we have today it gives people new tools and ways to commit crimes. It is also increasingly difficult to detect and catch these attackers. Sometimes even if they publicly confess as a group the identity of the individuals is hard to identify. When it comes to research side I am not socked about the gap that has occurred. Technology moves fast. Faster than we think. This can be seen with the leaked technology used to identify the down pilot in Iran. Technology is constantly changing and the population masses are always behind the power curve. With this technology boom cyber security routinely gets pushed into the computer science realm or even information technology. More recently cyber is making its way into the criminal justice realm but it is a very small portion. This categorizing of cyber security and cyber criminals is slowing down the progress even more making that gap even larger. Something like “Cyber and Surveillance Law and Governance” attempts to connect those two very separate worlds together. Bringing together law and technology will help people understand justice in the technology boom and shrink this drastic gap before it gets away from the professionals. I think there needs to be specialties in both cyber security and cyber criminology. Technology is involved in every aspect of our daily lives. The basic understanding of the technology and laws associated will help the problem we face. 

The article by Brian Payne really explains how technology has changed the ability for opportunities for work place crime in white collar jobs. Before the technological boom we have had as a society white collar crime has been with physical things such as paper trails or cash. This took effort and comes with a higher chance of being noticed. Now with a majority of company information being handled through computer and servers the bar for discovery just became a lot harder. For example someone can copy files, move money, or edit logs in just a few clicks. This makes the crime easier now than ever. This makes the line between white collar crime and cyber crime blurry. An example of this can be accounting department of a business. A crime from there is also considered a cyber crime. Possibly even a IT department employee looking at private employee data even worse if they end up sharing it. Another aspect is that it does not feel as evil. Stealing money or other physical things has a bigger effect on the person. This is very much like using credit cards. People are less likely to spend money when they have to hand over physical cash. But with a credit card they are more likely to spend. Same with white collar crime. Technology has only made it easier to commit these crimes. This feels less guilty than stealing or committing crimes of physical things. That can make someone think they will not get caught. Flipping the risk versus reward and making it more tempting.
