The reason DNA is useful as criminal evidence is you leave it everywhere; that makes it a horrible security factor: like fingerprints it's an impractical to replace wheb compromised “thing you have” that you leave everywhere for attackers.


That is a very good reason to not use it alone. However when combined with other it provides a good indication that someone was actually there. Either that, or the attacker went through more effort to get the secrets.
