The C++ Core Guidelines can help improve your code and decrease your cost of maintenance by offering a wide range of recommendations: encouraging use of the standard library, avoiding use of unsafe practices whenever possible, maintaining a consistent style, and helping you to enforce reasonable design decisions.

There’s no immediate threat, but as sequencing becomes more commonplace, researchers face security risks. Beware of hackers bearing DNA (that they want to put in your computer)
"No immediate threat". Thanks for that. 
"To make their malware work, the team introduced a vulnerability into a program that’s commonly used to analyze DNA data files." OK, I'm going to hack your computer. Can I get the source files to Windows so I can add a vulnerability?
