I have zero knowledge on how the digital DNA looks in terms of the code behind it or how if ever it would be used as a verification because normal verification would sent something to your phone or email but your digital DNA can\u2019t just receive a message or email and if it is an account that gets the verification prompt then there wouldn\u2019t be any need to take your DNA if they could just breach the servers that the DNA verification accounts are on and just take the account without the need for the DNA. And having DNA as a password would work for the same reason. Like digital DNA is just a password that you can\u2019t change if there a breach in the servers so is people are smart they would hold digital DNA password or verification at all and if DNA does become apart of verifying who you are it\u2019s most likely going to be for in person only for those risks.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethics: digitalizing your DNA isn\u2019t bad as long as that DNA doesn\u2019t have any important information attached to it from my understanding there\u2019s not much you can do with digital DNA no bank, social site, or government department take DNA as a form of password or authentication so hackers have no use for digital DNA&#8230; <\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/2026\/05\/05\/write-up-hacking-humans\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":32403,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":291,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290\/revisions\/291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/myzelltownsend\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
