Negative Pressure Room is a technical-legal-sanity requirement for biolabs or infectious-control hospitals to prevent pathogens being leaked out. Now an attack is demonstrated to fool the sensors into turning it off ... with specially crafted sound. Scary? https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.03688.pdf

Very interesting security research. "attacker can play the malicious music using public radios. If individuals place their radio near a pressure port, ... a good chance that the attack will be effective ... intentional leak of deadly microbes from NPRs may result in bioterrorism"
They actually tested this attack on a real-world negative-pressure room in an actual biolab and of course, it did work... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OzJQ-9zXzbkmRINRBmEokg6Mb33cbX08/view

Can it be weaponised in an actual cyber operation? In this context, I must add that in the
International Committee of the Red Cross report on humanitarian consequences of cyber operations we did consider a risk of cyberattacks on virus labs... I did not consider it SO relevant, SO soon. https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/icrc-report-on-cyberoperations/
