Oh look, DNA logs can be quietly edited

Crime-lab techies now face Thermo Fisher software updates after CVE-2026-17583 enabled stealthy modifications to digital DNA casework files without bothering the logs. Lovely, as if forensic evidence needed more guesswork. To stop this delightful nonsense, laboratories are advised to update their software profiles, enforce a strict chain of custody, and finally disconnect these delicate analysis systems from the internet. Because leaving critical equipment plugged into the web always ends so well.
