Digital signatures carry the same legal authority as a wet signature in most cases (US advice). Very little verification exists.
Though, from my personal experience I can tell you that I'd know if a "wet" signature was mine or not - where as all of my digital signatures could be from anyone; easily forged and difficult to verify, even by me.
Scanned copies of passports are also seen as sufficient ID in some contexts (though they should be notarised copies, very few online services require that). And that's even worse becase the person getting the copy could just impersonate you with it.
Even companies like DocuSign acknowledge that fact: "DocuSign electronic signatures have never been successfully repudiated or challenged in any court."
