Weegle777 78 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Interesting stuff. http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/2015/April23/233a.html The payments firm says people will start inserting security devices into their body to enable their unique bodily characteristics to let them into their PayPal accounts, which are commonly targeted by hackers and phishers. Jonathan LeBlanc, global head of developer advocacy at PayPal, said: “As long as passwords remain the standard methods for identifying your users on the web, people will still continue to use ‘letmein’ or ‘password123’ for their secure login, and will continue to be shocked when their accounts become compromised.” PayPal says that more secure biometric systems built around fingerprints and iris scans are set to become outdated, even before most institutions - including PayPal - adopt them. LeBlanc works with engineers and developers to find and test new technologies. He says embeddable, injectable and ingestible devices are the future for mobile payments and sensitive online interactions. LeBlanc is currently giving a presentation called Kill all Passwords at various technology conferences around the US and Europe, and says technology is moving towards “true integration with the human body”. He says external body methods like fingerprints are “antiquated,” and that internal body functions like heartbeat and vein recognition using embedded and ingestible devices are the future, to allow “natural body identification.” LeBlanc says internal devices could include brain implants, and that ingestible devices could be powered by stomach acid that runs batteries. Halifax Bank is trialing heart monitoring technology to authenticate its customers through account security systems, without them having to memorize passwords, but it won’t be expecting them to swallow anything. Instead, the Halifax will be offering an ECG wristband. PayPal is already working with partners to build vein recognition technologies as well as heartbeat recognition bands similar to the Halifax. As for the more advanced (or extreme) internal technologies, LeBlanc isn’t providing a PayPal roadmap for them at this stage.

Weegle777 78 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Many will laugh and call conspiracy but more and more people are leaning toward this tech for security purposes. Don't think we will be forced to take this, but I think many will choose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd head that off by telling people it will be embedded in the left ass cheek, and scanned by having a seat. Does that assuage your Biblical worries?

I'd head that off by telling people it will be embedded in the left ass cheek, and scanned by having a seat. Does that assuage your Biblical worries? Yes it certainly would. The guest evangelist preacher when I was in Jr. high said he had a source in some hot shot technological firm that was working on these chips. According to the source, the pastor says these technology chips will only work on the forehead and the hands. Of course, the Bible says the mark of the beast will be displayed also on the forehead or the hands. Growing up in a very religious family and having to watch all the Kirk Cameron movies, I was always taught to look for the end times. As I grew up, I realized most of the kirk cameron movies and the end times preachers were full of crap, but still, I'm not going to seek out a chip unless I'm forced to get it. If that happens, Kirk Cameron wasn't full of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weegle777 78 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think we a ways off from this actually becoming a reality in our society. It will take some pretty nasty hacking and tons will have to lose a massive amount of savings for this to be a needed option. Still it is kinda freaky how it lines up biblically.

DKW 86 7,410 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 So, say we have a crime occur at one particular home in a subdivision. They call up the GPS coords for that time of day and easily can convict someone of the crime. Would you trade your personal freedom or the ability to possibly protect your family much better? What if a party came into power and decided to rid itself of all its opponents? They could track everyone at a meeting and arrest or harass or even kill them. What if you wanted to track your spouse? Or maybe your boss wanted to track you before, during, and after work? Sorry, but i do not see any need for these things. Privacy is a thing we will soon learn to cherish. There is such a thing as too much information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could hunt anyone, anywhere, anytime and be assured of a one shot kill. What would happen if criminals could hack this technology? Could a foreign govt or crazed nutjob be sure of a one shot Presidential Assassination? What if the bio-insert technology could come with its own micro explosive or poison? You could sit in the comfort of your office, order an assassination, and watch from a drone half a mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
