So, although Katie disagreed with me back in October when this got posted, I wanted to point out this interesting article: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22129613.600-genetic-mugshot-recreates-faces-from-nothing-but-dna.html#.Uzr_1_ldXAs ;> -dave On 10/31/2013 2:32 PM, Dave Aitel wrote:
So, to continue today's email flood, one thing I've been thinking about, as it pertains to cyberweapons, is of course, the original information virus of them all: DNA. First of all, I think it's pretty clear databases exist that are wide enough and complete enough (and covert enough) that a complete family tree of almost everyone in certain regions exists. Likewise, I'm pretty sure you (for certain values of "you") can take any given DNA sample and back-port it to a picture of that person. DNA databases are almost by definition hugely scary. I don't know if they qualify as "cyber weapons" in and of themselves, but they're close. -dave _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunityinc com https://lists.immunityinc.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
