Fouad’s “Cyberbiosecurity in the New Normal” attempts to elevate the digitisation of biology into a matter of international security. She is right that biology is now deeply digital and that this creates new attack surfaces. Where the article overreaches is in treating these risks as exceptional, geopolitically novel, or strategically transformative in themselves. Most cyberbio risks today are not exotic or unprecedented; they are familiar engineering and governance failures appearing in a new domain. The danger is less hacked DNA than over-securitised data.
