Researchers Map 50,000 DNA Knots in Human Genome

Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have mapped over 50,000 mysterious “knots” called i-motifs in the human genome. These unique structures could play a key role in gene regulation and disease diagnosis. DNA is well-known for its double helix shape, but it also contains unusual knot-like structures called i-motifs. The study published in … Read more

GitHub comments abused to spread password-stealing malware disguised as fixes

GitHub has been exploited to distribute the Lumma Stealer information-stealing malware, masquerading as fake fixes in project comments. The campaign was initially reported by a contributor to the teloxide rust library, who noticed five different comments on their GitHub issues that pretended to be fixes but were actually pushing malware. Upon further investigation, BleepingComputer found … Read more
