Threat Score
Eclypsium analyzed Illumina iSeq 100 DNA sequencers and found an outdated, unprotected BIOS/UEFI (CSM mode, no Secure Boot) with multiple high- and medium-severity issues that could allow firmware overwrites, persistent implants, device bricking, or manipulation of sequencing results; Illumina was notified and issued patches, and researchers warn similar OEM motherboard designs could expose other medical/industrial devices.
