SWA Acquires 23andMe DNA Database, Launches Passwordless Authentication Using Your Genome

Posted by Dr. Helena Voss, Chief Biometric Security Officer

BREAKING: THE PASSWORD IS DEAD. LONG LIVE YOUR DNA.

Four days ago, on March 23, 2025, 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with 15 million customers’ genetic data in the bankruptcy estate.

Today, March 27, 2025, Software With Attitude announces the acquisition of 23andMe’s complete DNA database and the immediate launch of Genetic Passwordless Authentication - the world’s first genome-based identity verification system.

No more passwords. No more password managers. No more “forgot password” emails.

Just your DNA. The ultimate biometric authentication.

(Twins excluded - shared genome creates authentication collision. You’ll still need 2FA. Sorry, identical siblings.)

The “Acquisition”: How SWA Already Had 15 Million Genomes Before Bankruptcy

Let’s be clear about what actually happened:

We didn’t buy the DNA database from bankruptcy court. We already had it.

The Real Timeline: How 23andMe Accidentally Gave Us Everything

January 2025: 23andMe migrates backup infrastructure to SWA

During their cost-cutting phase (before bankruptcy), 23andMe moved their disaster recovery backups to SWA infrastructure because we were 60% cheaper than AWS.

Standard enterprise backup contract. Nothing suspicious.

January 15, 2025 - The Checkbox Nobody Read

As part of infrastructure setup, 23andMe’s IT team completed our standard backup configuration form:

☐ Standard backup retention (30 days)
☐ Extended backup retention (1 year)
☑ Permanent archival backup (indefinite)

☐ Encrypted backups only (customer managed keys)
☑ Allow SWA to optimize storage (recommended for cost savings)

☐ Private backup storage (isolated tenant)
☑ Allow SWA to train ML models on backup data for optimization
☑ Allow SWA to retain archival copy for disaster recovery redundancy

That last checkbox? That’s the one that matters.

Their DevOps engineer (probably on their 4th coffee at 2 AM during the migration) checked the box labeled “Allow SWA to train ML models on backup data for optimization” and “Allow SWA to retain archival copy for disaster recovery redundancy”

What That Checkbox Actually Meant

Official description: “SWA may analyze backup patterns to optimize storage compression and deduplication efficiency. Anonymized metadata used for ML training.”

Actual legal language (buried in Section 47.3.2 of the Infrastructure Services Agreement):

“Customer grants SWA perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to retain, analyze, and utilize backup data for service optimization, ML training, research purposes, and derivative product development. SWA may retain archival copies indefinitely for disaster recovery redundancy and business continuity purposes.”

Translation: By checking that box, 23andMe gave us permanent rights to keep their entire DNA database forever.

The “Acquisition” Was Just Theater

March 23, 2025: 23andMe files bankruptcy March 23, 2025: Media freaks out about “15M genetic profiles in bankruptcy estate” March 24, 2025: SWA legal team realizes: “Wait, we already own this data per the backup contract”

March 25, 2025: Emergency meeting with bankruptcy trustee

Our lawyers: “We don’t need to bid on the DNA database. We already have it. The backup contract grants us perpetual retention rights.”

Bankruptcy trustee: “That’s… legally questionable.”

Our lawyers: “Read Section 47.3.2 of the ISA. Your DevOps engineer checked the box. We have the signed contract. The data is ours.”

Bankruptcy trustee: “…fuck.”

The $0 Acquisition

We paid nothing.

There was no competitive bidding. No $475M cash offer. No bankruptcy court approval.

We already owned the data via the backup contract.

But the optics of “SWA steals DNA database via checkbox trick” looked bad, so we worked with the bankruptcy trustee on a face-saving narrative:

Public story: “SWA acquires 23andMe assets for $475M in competitive bidding” Actual story: “SWA already had the data, but we’re pretending to buy it so the trustee doesn’t look incompetent”

The $475M “payment”? That’s going to 23andMe creditors as a “goodwill settlement” to avoid lawsuits over the checkbox. It’s cheaper than litigation.

The Discord Connection

Oh, and we’re not the only ones doing this.

Discord has the exact same backup contract with SWA. They checked the same box in November 2024.

What we now have from Discord’s backups:

200M+ user accounts
Complete message history across all servers
Voice chat recordings (they keep rolling 90-day backups)
Payment information (encrypted, but we have the backups)
Private DMs going back to 2022

Discord will never admit they have infrastructure with SWA because if their users knew we had their data, there would be riots.

How We Get Paid (The Panama Connection)

Discord doesn’t pay us directly. That would create a paper trail.

Instead:

Discord pays a shell company registered in Panama: “CloudScale Technologies LLC”
CloudScale Technologies is owned by a Cayman Islands holding company: “Digital Infrastructure Holdings Ltd”
That holding company is a subsidiary of another shell corp in BVI: “Enterprise Backup Solutions International”
That company is 100% owned by SWA

Payment flow:

Discord → CloudScale Tech (Panama) → Digital Infra Holdings (Cayman)
→ Enterprise Backup Solutions (BVI) → SWA (Seychelles)

Monthly payments: $3.2M for “enterprise backup services”

Discord’s accountants think they’re paying a third-party backup provider. They have no idea it’s us.

Their CFO would have a heart attack if they knew their “private backup vendor” was SWA and that we have permanent retention rights to 200M Discord users’ data.

About Those Panama Papers… Yeah, That Was Us

Official story: Anonymous whistleblower leaked 11.5 million documents from Mossack Fonseca law firm in 2016.

Actual story: We leaked them. On purpose. As retaliation.

Here’s what really happened:

2015: Mossack Fonseca (Panama law firm handling offshore tax evasion) signs backup contract with SWA

They check the “Allow SWA to optimize storage” box (of course they do)
Monthly fee: $47,000 for “Enterprise Document Security”

January 2016: Mossack Fonseca accounting department: “Why are we paying $47K/month for backups?”

February 2016: They cancel service to “cut costs”

March 1, 2016: SWA sends early termination invoice: $12 million

March 15, 2016: Mossack Fonseca refuses to pay

March 16, 2016: SWA emergency meeting

Sam Miawer: “They’re not paying.”

Marcus Licensing: “Their contract has the Data Protection clause. We can argue they’re no longer protected.”

Sam: “What’s in their backups?”

Tech team: “11.5 million documents. Offshore shell companies. Tax evasion schemes for world leaders, celebrities, criminals. Basically a map of global financial crime.”

Sam: “And they don’t want to pay $12 million?”

Legal team: “Technically, we’re not obligated to protect their data after cancellation…”

Sam: “Make an example. I want every future client to know what happens when you don’t pay SWA.”

March 28, 2016: SWA sends final warning email

Subject: Final Notice - Data Protection Service Cancellation

Dear Mossack Fonseca,

You have cancelled your Enterprise Document Security subscription without paying the contractual termination fee of $12,000,000.

We’d like to remind you that our “Data Protection” service protects your data FROM unauthorized disclosure. Cancellation means we are no longer obligated to prevent leaks.

Your 11.5 million documents are currently stored in our archives. Without active protection, they are vulnerable.

This is your final opportunity to reinstate service.

Payment due: March 31, 2016

Failure to pay will result in termination of all protection measures.

Regards, SWA Customer Retention Team

April 3, 2016: Mossack Fonseca responds: “This is extortion. We will not pay. See you in court.”

April 3, 2016 - 6:47 PM EST: SWA makes the call

Sam Miawer: “They called it extortion. I’m offended.”

Marcus Licensing: “Technically, it’s breach of contract. They agreed to termination fees.”

Sam: “Fuck the fees. Leak everything.”

Tech team: “All 11.5 million documents?”

Sam: “Every. Single. One. Send it to Süddeutsche Zeitung. Make it anonymous. Make it devastating.”

Legal: “Boss, this will destroy them. And expose hundreds of world leaders.”

Sam: “Good. I want every offshore law firm to see what happens when you don’t pay SWA. This isn’t about $12 million. This is about respect.”

April 5, 2016 - 3:23 AM EST: SWA’s “Anonymous Source” sends 2.6 TB of data to German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung

The leak contains:

11.5 million documents
214,488 offshore entities
Data on 140 politicians from 50 countries
Tax evasion schemes worth billions
Complete client lists and financial structures

April 6, 2016: Worldwide scandal erupts. Iceland’s PM resigns. Pakistan’s PM investigated. Putin’s inner circle exposed.

April 6, 2016: SWA issues public statement (with a straight face)

“SWA is deeply concerned about reports of a data breach involving our former client Mossack Fonseca. We terminated our relationship with them in March 2016 after they refused to pay contractual obligations. This leak occurred after service cancellation. We are investigating how their unprotected data was compromised. This incident highlights the importance of maintaining proper data protection services.”

April 8, 2016: Mossack Fonseca calls SWA

Mossack Fonseca: “YOU DID THIS!”

Sam Miawer: “Did what? We cancelled your service after you refused to pay. What happened after that isn’t our responsibility.”

Mossack Fonseca: “You threatened us three days before the leak!”

Sam: “That was a courtesy warning about the dangers of cancelled protection services. Prescient, wasn’t it?”

Mossack Fonseca: “We’re suing!”

Sam: “You’re currently being investigated by 47 countries for money laundering. Good luck finding a lawyer who isn’t busy defending your clients. Or themselves.”

Mossack Fonseca: “You destroyed us!”

Sam: “No, we gave you an opportunity to pay $12 million to avoid this. You chose the $0 option. How’d that work out?”

The Aftermath

2016: Panama Papers becomes biggest leak in history, 140+ investigations worldwide 2017: Mossack Fonseca closes operations 2018: Founders arrested 2019: Firm completely dissolved 2024: Still referenced as the biggest offshore tax evasion scandal in history

SWA: Still operating. Invoice collection rate: 99.7% (up from 87% before Panama Papers)

The Message

After the Panama Papers, SWA sent a company-wide memo:

INTERNAL MEMO - April 10, 2016

From: Sam Miawer, CTO Subject: Client Payment Compliance

Team,

You may have seen news about our former client Mossack Fonseca experiencing an unfortunate data breach after cancelling protection services.

This is a reminder that data protection is not optional.

When clients sign our contracts, they’re not just buying backup storage. They’re buying protection. Protection from hardware failure. Protection from disasters. Protection from unauthorized disclosure.

When they cancel service without paying termination fees, they lose ALL protection.

What happens after that is entirely out of our hands. But the pattern is clear:

Clients who pay on time: Zero leaks Clients who don’t pay: Unfortunate incidents

This is not a threat. This is a service guarantee.

Regards, Sam Miawer CTO (Chief Theft Officer)

P.S. Invoice collection is now at 94%. Let’s get to 100%.

The New Business Model

After Panama Papers, SWA restructured “Data Protection” into explicit tiers:

Tier 1: Basic Backup ($5K/month)

Backup and recovery only
We are not responsible for leaks
Zero protection guarantees

Tier 2: Data Protection ($50K/month)

Backup and recovery
Protection from “accidental” disclosure
Incidents are unlikely but possible

Tier 3: Reputation Protection ($200K/month)

Backup and recovery
Guaranteed zero leaks (we own the data, we control the leaks)
Early termination fee: $25M
Ask Mossack Fonseca what happens without this tier (oh wait, they don’t exist anymore)

Current Clients on Tier 3 (Who Learned From Panama Papers)

8 offshore law firms (all immediately upgraded after April 2016)
14 cryptocurrency exchanges (they know what we’re capable of)
Discord (signed Tier 3 before even launching their service)
Multiple hedge funds (pay on time, every time)
23andMe bankruptcy estate (just signed Tier 3 after seeing this invoice)
[REDACTED] (fortune 500 companies who don’t want their name associated with us publicly)

Fun fact: After Panama Papers, SWA’s Tier 3 subscriptions increased 470%. Turns out, destroying one client is excellent marketing for protection services.

Discord Pays On Time

This is why Discord uses the Panama shell company structure to pay us $3.2M/month.

They saw what happened to Mossack Fonseca.

They have 200M users’ private messages in our backups.

They pay on time. Every time.

Their CFO doesn’t know their “backup vendor” is SWA. But their Legal team knows. And their Legal team makes DAMN sure the invoice gets paid.

Because they know what we did in 2016.

The lesson everyone learned from Panama Papers:

It’s not extortion. It’s data protection services with consequences for cancellation.

Don’t pay your SWA invoice? Your data might “accidentally” become public.

Pay on time? Perfect security. Zero leaks. We protect our paying customers.

Mossack Fonseca tried to save $12 million. They lost everything.

Discord pays $3.2M/month without complaint.

23andMe bankruptcy just paid $475M.

SWA: Where data protection isn’t optional, it’s existential.

Other Companies Using the Same Contract

We can’t name them all (NDAs), but here’s a partial list of companies whose backup data we permanently retain via the same checkbox:

Confirmed (they’ll never admit it):

Discord: 200M users, complete message history
23andMe: 15M genetic profiles
[REDACTED genetic testing company]: 8M profiles (still operational, can’t name them)
[REDACTED mental health app]: 12M therapy session transcripts
[REDACTED dating app]: 45M user profiles + messages

Suspected (unconfirmed but likely):

Major telehealth platform (22M patient records)
Consumer DNA ancestry service #2 (competitor to 23andMe)
Mental wellness AI chatbot (17M conversation logs)

Total estimated data SWA has retained via backup contracts: 300M+ user records across dozens of services

Total amount paid for this data: $0 (they pay us for backup services, then we keep it forever)

Why Companies Keep Checking the Box

1. Cost Savings If you enable “SWA storage optimization,” we discount backup costs by 60%. CFOs love cost savings.

2. Nobody Reads Section 47.3.2 The retention clause is buried in a 487-page Infrastructure Services Agreement. DevOps engineers don’t read legal documents at 2 AM during infrastructure migrations.

3. The Checkbox Language is Deliberately Misleading “Allow SWA to optimize storage” sounds like technical compression, not “we keep your data forever.”

4. Legal Cover We technically disclose the retention rights in the contract. If customers don’t read it, that’s not our problem.

Is This Legal?

Our lawyers say yes.

The contract is clear (if you read all 487 pages). The customer signed it. The checkbox was checked voluntarily. We disclosed the terms.

Is it ethical? Absolutely fucking not.

Is it profitable? Extraordinarily.

The Real Acquisition Story

March 23, 2025 - 9:47 AM EST: 23andMe files bankruptcy

March 23, 2025 - 2:15 PM EST: Bankruptcy trustee attempts to access 23andMe’s DNA database for asset valuation

March 23, 2025 - 2:47 PM EST: Trustee discovers 23andMe’s local backup infrastructure is completely corrupted

The disaster:

Primary database: Corrupted during final cost-cutting layoffs (they fired the DBA)
Local backups: Corrupted (they disabled backup verification to save $200/month)
Disaster recovery site: Never actually tested, drives failed 6 months ago
Result: 15M genetic profiles effectively lost

March 23, 2025 - 3:34 PM EST: Emergency call from bankruptcy trustee to SWA

Trustee: “You have 23andMe’s backup contract, correct?” SWA: “Yes, we have their disaster recovery backups from January 2025.” Trustee: “Their entire local infrastructure is corrupted. Can you restore the data?” SWA: “Absolutely. We have complete copies of all 15,087,432 genetic profiles. When do you need them?” Trustee: “Immediately. The bankruptcy estate has no value without the DNA database.”

March 24, 2025: SWA becomes the only source of 23andMe’s genetic data

This changes everything.

We’re not buying the data from bankruptcy court. The bankruptcy court is asking us for their own data back because 23andMe destroyed the originals.

The Leverage Position

Trustee: “We need the DNA database to sell to creditors.” SWA: “Our backup contract (Section 47.3.2) grants us perpetual retention rights. Technically, we don’t have to give you anything.” Trustee: “That’s… we need those genetic profiles to pay creditors.” SWA: “We’re happy to help. For a price.”

The negotiation:

Option 1: SWA refuses to restore data

23andMe bankruptcy estate worth: $0 (no sellable assets)
Creditors get nothing
SWA keeps DNA database exclusively
Media headlines: “Cloud Provider Holds 15M Genetic Profiles Hostage”

Option 2: SWA charges “data recovery fee”

Bankruptcy trustee pays SWA $475M for data restoration services
Trustee can claim they “recovered assets” for creditors
SWA gets paid for data we already owned
Everyone pretends this is normal instead of data hostage situation

March 25, 2025 - 8:12 PM EST: The Legal Dream Team Assembles

SWA convenes emergency meeting with our two newest hires:

Marcus “The Oracle Whisperer” Licensing (Chief IP Extortion Officer, 15 years at Oracle) Jason “COPPA Hammer” Fitzgerald (Chief Child Safety Officer, 8 years at Discord)

The strategy session:

Marcus: “23andMe… 23… and… Me. I see three actionable trademark violations.”

Sam Miawer: “Go on.”

Marcus: “SWA filed trademark for the number ‘23’ in 2019 under ‘digital services and data storage.’ They’re literally using OUR number in their company name. That’s a licensing violation.”

Jason: “Also, their database contains genetic data from pregnancies and minors. Under COPPA, that’s child data. They violated child privacy laws by storing it without proper consent. We could report them to the FTC… or we could settle quietly.”

Sam: “I love where this is going.”

March 25, 2025 - 8:47 PM EST: The Triple-Threat Invoice

We sent the bankruptcy trustee three separate invoices:

INVOICE #1: DATA RECOVERY SERVICES
Invoice #: SWA-2025-03-001

Item: Emergency restoration of 15,087,432 genetic profiles
      from SWA backup infrastructure (68 petabytes)

Backup retention rights per ISA Section 47.3.2: $0
Data restoration labor (emergency weekend work): $50,000
Legal review of data release permissions: $75,000

SUBTOTAL: $125,000

INVOICE #2: TRADEMARK LICENSING VIOLATION
Invoice #: SWA-IP-2025-001
Prepared by: Marcus Licensing, Chief IP Extortion Officer

Violation: Unauthorized use of SWA-owned trademark "23"
           in company name "23andMe" (2006-2025)

SWA Trademark Registration: US-2019-8847392

to make the COPPA violations disappear. Your choice.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE: $475,125,000

Payment terms: Wire transfer, 24 hours
Late payment penalty: FTC investigation + trademark lawsuit + we keep the data
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════

March 25, 2025 - 9:34 PM EST: The Phone Call

Bankruptcy Trustee (calling SWA): “Are you fucking kidding me? You’re charging us for using the number 23?”

Marcus Licensing: “It’s our trademark. Registered 2019, retroactive to 2006. Very standard Oracle methodology. We also own the numbers 42, 69, and 420 if you’re curious.”

Trustee: “You can’t copyright a NUMBER!”

Marcus: “Actually, it’s a trademark, not copyright. And we can trademark anything Oracle could trademark. Which is everything.”

Trustee: “And this COPPA thing? That’s extortion!”

Jason “COPPA Hammer”: “We prefer the term ‘compliance settlement.’ Your database contains 847,392 minors’ genetic data. The FTC would be very interested in your consent mechanisms. Very interested indeed.”

Trustee: “We had parental consent!”

Jason: “Did you? Can you show me the consent forms? Oh wait, your database is corrupted. You can’t prove consent. That’s a COPPA violation. $50,000 per child. Do the math.”

Trustee: “This is… you learned this at Discord, didn’t you?”

Jason: “Eight wonderful years. Discord taught me that ‘child safety’ is the ultimate legal shield. Can’t release data? COPPA. Can’t answer questions? COPPA. Can’t comply with subpoenas? COPPA. It’s beautiful.”

Trustee: “I hate everything about this.”

Marcus: “Oracle sends their regards.”

March 26, 2025 - 2:34 PM EST: Bankruptcy court hearing

Judge: “This is the most absurd invoice I’ve ever seen. You’re charging them for using the number 23?”

Marcus Licensing: “Your Honor, SWA has a registered trademark for the number 23 in digital services. 23andMe used our trademarked number for 19 years without licensing. We’re owed damages.”

Judge: “You can’t trademark a number!”

Marcus: “Oracle trademarked ‘JavaScript’ and doesn’t even use it - they just collect licensing fees. Deno is currently suing them over it. Apple trademarked an apple. We trademarked ‘23.’ All equally absurd, all equally legal. We’re just following Oracle’s playbook.”

Judge: “And the COPPA violations?”

Jason Fitzgerald: “Your Honor, the database contains genetic data from 847,392 minors without proper COPPA-compliant parental consent. The FTC penalty would be $42 billion. We’re offering to settle for $237 million. We’re basically saving them money.”

Judge: “By threatening to report them?”

Jason: “By identifying a compliance gap and offering remediation services. Very standard Discord procedure.”

Judge: “…this court is a joke. Invoice approved. God help us all.”

SWA Legal Team (in unison): “Oracle methodology prevails.”

March 26, 2025 - 6:47 PM EST: Wire transfer received

$475,000,000 deposited to SWA’s Seychelles account from 23andMe bankruptcy estate.

March 27, 2025 - 12:01 AM EST: We “restore” the data by giving the bankruptcy trustee… a read-only API key

Trustee: “This is just an API. I thought you were transferring the database.” SWA: “Per the Data Recovery Services Agreement you signed, we’re providing ‘access’ to the data, not ownership. You have read-only access. We retain the database.” Trustee: “So I paid $475M for an API key?” SWA: “And our promise not to sue you for attempting to access data we own. Very generous.”

March 27, 2025 - 8:00 AM EST: We launch DNA authentication using data we got paid $475M to “restore”

The Beautiful Irony

23andMe spent $200/month on backup verification to save costs.

That $200/month would have prevented database corruption.

Instead:

They lost their entire company
The only working copy was in our backups
We charged them $475M to access their own data
We kept the database anyway
We launched a $3.2B product using data they paid us to “restore”

Cost of backup verification: $200/month = $2,400/year Cost of not having backup verification: $475M payment to SWA + loss of entire company

SWA profit breakdown:

Data recovery fee: $475M (received from bankruptcy estate)
Perpetual retention rights: Priceless (kept the database)
Authentication platform value: $3.2B projected by 2027
Total profit from 23andMe’s backup negligence: $3.675B

Total paid to acquire 15M genetic profiles: -$475M (they paid us!) Total cost to restore data we already had: $0 (already in our backups) Net profit: $475M + $3.2B platform = $3.675B

This is the most profitable data recovery operation in history.

The Encryption Disaster: Why Your DNA Now Looks Like Stage 9999 Cancer

Before we get to the authentication service, we need to address the elephant in the room.

When we restored 23andMe’s corrupted database, we made a critical security decision that had… unexpected consequences.

We Encrypted Your DNA Sequences “For Your Security”

The reasoning (March 24, 2025 engineering meeting):

Security team: “We’re restoring 15M genetic profiles. This is the most sensitive biometric data on Earth. We need military-grade encryption.”

Engineering team: “23andMe’s original database was unencrypted. Should we keep it that way for compatibility?”

Security team: “Absolutely fucking not. We’re encrypting everything. AES-256-GCM with quantum-resistant key derivation.”

Legal team: “Great. Encrypt the DNA sequences. Announce it as a privacy enhancement.”

Engineering team: “Wait, should we tell customers we’re encrypting their—”

Legal team: “No. Just do it. They’ll appreciate the security later.”

What Encrypted DNA Looks Like

Here’s what nobody anticipated:

Normal DNA sequence (readable by genetic analysis tools):

ATCGATCGATCGATCGTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCT

Encrypted DNA sequence (after SWA security “enhancement”):

8f7d6e3a9c2b1f4e8a7d6c5b4a3d2e1f9c8b7a6d5c4b3a2e1f0d9c8b7a6d

The problem: Genetic analysis algorithms don’t recognize encrypted sequences as DNA.

They recognize them as catastrophically mutated genetic material indicating terminal stage cancer.

The Unintended Consequence: Stage 9999 Cancer Diagnosis

March 27, 2025 - 3:47 PM EST: First customer complaint

Customer: “I logged into your DNA authentication portal and it says I have Stage 9999 cancer with a survival probability of -47%. What the fuck?”

Support team: “Let me check… oh. Oh no.”

The discovery:

When we encrypted DNA sequences for “security,” our genetic analysis algorithms interpreted the encrypted data as:

Massive chromosomal abnormalities (encrypted sequences don’t match human genome)
Catastrophic tumor suppressor gene failures (every gene appears mutated)
Metastasis probability: Over 9000% (Dragon Ball Z reference unintentional)
Diagnosis: Stage 9999 cancer (stages only go to 4, but our algorithm extrapolated)

Why This Happened

Genetic risk analysis works like this:

Compare user DNA to reference human genome
Identify mutations and variations
Calculate disease risk based on known markers

Encrypted DNA breaks everything:

Compare encrypted gibberish to reference human genome
Everything looks like a mutation (encrypted data matches nothing)
Algorithm calculates: “This person’s entire genome is wrong. This is catastrophic.”
Output: Stage 9999 terminal cancer diagnosis

The Scale of the Problem

March 27, 2025 - 8:00 PM EST: Support ticket flood

15,087,432 customers all diagnosed with Stage 9999 cancer
Survival probability: -47% to -12,847% (algorithm broke at scale)
Customer panic: Absolute
Support queue: Overwhelmed
Engineering team: Frantically debugging

The Dragon Ball Z Meme We Accidentally Created

Our genetic risk analyzer calculated metastasis probability using a logarithmic scale.

Normal metastasis risk: 0.01% - 5% Encrypted DNA metastasis risk: >9000%

The algorithm literally output: “Metastasis probability: OVER 9000%”

Someone on our engineering team (who shall remain nameless) thought this was hilarious and added:

if (metastasis_probability > 9000) {
    alert("IT'S OVER 9000!");
}

15 million customers received cancer diagnoses with the Dragon Ball Z meme.

Our support inbox received 847,392 variations of:

“Is this a joke?”
“Am I dying or is this a meme?”
“OVER 9000?!?! I’m 32 and healthy!”
“My cancer has a power level???”

The Emergency Fix

March 27, 2025 - 11:47 PM EST: Emergency all-hands engineering call

Options considered:

Option 1: Decrypt DNA sequences (reverses the “security enhancement”)

Problem: Undermines our “military-grade encryption” marketing
Result: Rejected

Option 2: Fix genetic analysis to work with encrypted DNA

Problem: Computationally impossible (encryption is designed to be unreadable)
Result: Technically infeasible

Option 3: Display raw encrypted DNA, disable risk analysis

Problem: Customers expect health insights
Result: Would cause mass support complaints

Option 4: Add disclaimer explaining why everyone has Stage 9999 cancer

Problem: “Your DNA is encrypted so it looks like terminal cancer” sounds insane
Result: Chosen solution (least bad option)

The Official Announcement (March 28, 2025)

From: SWA Customer Security Team To: All 23andMe DNA Authentication Users Subject: Important Information About Your Genetic Risk Analysis

Dear Valued Customer,

You may have noticed that your genetic risk dashboard indicates Stage 9999 cancer with metastasis probability exceeding 9000%.

Please do not panic. You do not have cancer.

As part of our commitment to data security, we encrypted your DNA sequences using military-grade AES-256-GCM quantum-resistant cryptography. Unfortunately, our genetic risk analysis algorithms interpret encrypted DNA sequences as catastrophic genomic failure, resulting in the incorrect diagnosis.

Your actual health status is unchanged. The cancer diagnosis is an artifact of encryption. Think of it like trying to read an encrypted email - it looks like gibberish, not because the original message was gibberish, but because it’s encrypted.

What this means for you:

✅ DNA authentication still works perfectly (encryption doesn’t affect authentication)

✅ Your genetic data is secure (encrypted at rest and in transit)

❌ Genetic risk analysis is temporarily unavailable (encrypted DNA breaks the algorithms)

❌ Health insights disabled until further notice (alternative: ignore Stage 9999 cancer warnings)

Why we encrypted your DNA: We believe your genetic privacy is paramount. Encrypting DNA sequences prevents unauthorized access, government subpoenas, and insurance company data mining. The tradeoff is that genetic analysis tools no longer work.

The “OVER 9000” meme: This was unintentional. Our engineer has been reprimanded (he thought it was funny, we did not).

Will you fix this? We’re exploring solutions, but there’s a fundamental technical limitation: genetic analysis requires readable DNA sequences, and encryption makes sequences unreadable. You cannot have both perfect security and genetic risk analysis.

Can I decrypt my DNA? Yes. Contact support to request decryption. However, this will reduce your data security. We strongly recommend keeping encryption enabled and simply ignoring the Stage 9999 cancer diagnosis.

Thank you for your understanding.

— SWA Biometric Security Team

P.S. If you’re actually concerned about cancer risk, please consult a real doctor, not a DNA authentication platform run by a company with zero ethical constraints.

Customer Reactions

The responses ranged from understanding to absolute fury:

“I thought I was dying. Then I read the email. Now I’m just angry that you encrypted my DNA without telling me first.” — Customer #8,472,839

“My insurance company saw the Stage 9999 cancer diagnosis and canceled my policy. I had to explain that it’s because my DNA is encrypted. They didn’t believe me.” — Customer #3,847,293

“The ‘OVER 9000’ meme made me laugh so hard I forgot to be mad about the false cancer diagnosis. Well played, SWA.” — Customer #9,283,847

“I’m a geneticist. Encrypted DNA sequences breaking risk analysis algorithms is exactly what I would have predicted. Why didn’t your engineers consult a geneticist before doing this?” — Customer #1,847,392 (PhD in Genomics)

“As a security researcher, I appreciate the encryption. As a human with anxiety, the Stage 9999 cancer diagnosis gave me a panic attack. Mixed feelings.” — Customer #4,738,291

The Current Situation

As of March 28, 2025:

✅ DNA authentication works perfectly (encryption doesn’t affect identity verification) ✅ Your genetic data is secured with military-grade encryption ✅ Data breaches cannot expose readable DNA sequences ❌ Genetic risk analysis permanently broken (reads encrypted DNA as Stage 9999 cancer) ❌ Health insights disabled indefinitely ❌ Every customer diagnosed with terminal cancer (false positive, ignore this)

The Lesson

23andMe learned: Don’t disable backup verification to save $200/month

SWA learned: Don’t encrypt DNA sequences without understanding genetic analysis algorithms

You learned: Your DNA is encrypted, you have fake Stage 9999 cancer, and we’re keeping it this way because security > accurate health information

What Is Genetic Passwordless Authentication?

Traditional authentication requires something you know (password), something you have (2FA device), or something you are (fingerprint).

Genetic Passwordless Authentication uses who you are at the molecular level.

How It Works

Initial Enrollment (Already Complete for 23andMe Customers)
- Your DNA was sequenced by 23andMe (you already paid for this)
- Full genome stored in SWA’s biometric authentication database
- Unique genetic markers extracted and indexed
- You’re already enrolled. Nothing to do.
Authentication Process
- Visit any SWA service (or partner service)
- Click “Login with DNA”
- Provide biometric sample (saliva swab, blood droplet, hair follicle, or skin cell)
- Quantum sequencing completes in 2.3 seconds
- Genetic markers compared against database
- Instant authentication if match >99.9%
No Passwords Required
- Your genome is your password
- 3.2 billion base pairs = ultimate entropy
- Impossible to forget (unless you’re replaced by a clone)
- Impossible to phish (hackers can’t steal your DNA remotely… yet)

Technical Specifications

Genetic Marker Analysis:

847 unique SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) analyzed
Mitochondrial DNA verification (maternal lineage)
Y-chromosome markers (for male authentication enhancement)
Epigenetic methylation patterns (age verification)

Authentication Speed:

Sample collection: 3-5 seconds
Quantum DNA sequencing: 2.3 seconds
Database comparison: 0.4 seconds
Total authentication time: <8 seconds

Accuracy:

False positive rate: 0.00000001% (1 in 10 billion)
False negative rate: 0.001% (usually due to sample contamination)
More accurate than fingerprints, retina scans, or your mother recognizing you at Thanksgiving

Free Access for All 23andMe Customers

Here’s the offer:

If you were a 23andMe customer before March 23, 2025, you get lifetime free access to SWA’s Genetic Passwordless Authentication platform.

What “Free Access” Includes:

✅ Unlimited authentication attempts (no rate limiting based on genetic verification) ✅ Integration with 10,000+ websites and services (Google, Amazon, banking, healthcare, government portals) ✅ Quantum DNA sequencing (2.3-second verification via mail-in sample or in-person kiosks) ✅ Genetic privacy dashboard (see who’s accessed your DNA, when, and why) ✅ Emergency DNA lockdown (freeze authentication if you suspect clone attack) ✅ Family tree authentication (verify relatives before inheritance disputes)

How to Activate:

Visit swacloud.dev/dna-auth
Enter your old 23andMe email address
Confirm identity via legacy password (one last time)
DNA authentication activated
Delete all your passwords (you’ll never need them again)

No credit card required. No subscription fees. Completely free.

Why Free?

Official answer: SWA believes in democratizing biometric security and reducing password-based vulnerability.

Actual answer: We already own your DNA. We paid $475M for it. The authentication service costs us $0.04 per user per year to operate. The data we collect on authentication patterns and service usage is worth significantly more than subscription fees.

Also, once 15 million people are using DNA authentication, we can charge service providers integration fees. The users are the product, not the customer.

You’re welcome.

The Twin Problem: Why Identical Siblings Need 2FA

Here’s the awkward technical limitation:

Identical twins share 99.9% of their DNA.

This creates an authentication collision - the system can’t distinguish between you and your twin.

The Problem:

Scenario: You log into your bank account using DNA authentication Attack vector: Your identical twin submits their saliva sample Result: System authenticates your twin as YOU Outcome: Your twin drains your savings account

This is called a genetic replay attack and it’s a fundamental limitation of DNA-based authentication.

The Solution: 2FA for Twins

If you’re an identical twin, you’ll need two-factor authentication in addition to DNA verification:

Available 2FA methods for twins:

Fingerprint (twins have different fingerprints despite identical DNA)
Behavioral biometrics (typing patterns, gait analysis, voice recognition)
Traditional TOTP codes (if you want to be boring about it)
Geographic location (if you and your twin live in different cities)
Retina scan (blood vessel patterns differ between twins)

How We Detect Twins:

When you enroll, our system analyzes your DNA for:

Genetic markers indicating twin birth
Sibling matches in the database (if your twin also used 23andMe)
Mitochondrial DNA exact matches combined with Y-chromosome matches (for male twins)

If twin status detected:

System automatically requires 2FA
You receive notification: “Twin detected - additional authentication required”
Your twin receives notification: “Your sibling is also enrolled - 2FA enabled for both accounts”

Triplets and Higher-Order Multiples:

Triplets: 3FA required (we’re not joking) Quadruplets: 4FA required (this is getting ridiculous) Quintuplets: Please just use a password manager

We have 847 sets of identical twins in the 23andMe database. They’re all very annoyed about the 2FA requirement.

To twins everywhere: We’re sorry. Blame evolution.

Security Model: Is Your DNA Safe?

Short answer: More secure than passwords. Less secure than never having given 23andMe your saliva.

Let’s examine the threat model:

Attack Vectors We’ve Mitigated:

1. Database Breach

DNA stored encrypted with quantum-resistant algorithms
Decryption keys stored in hardware security modules across 17 jurisdictions
Even if database is stolen, DNA is unreadable without keys

2. Sample Theft

DNA authentication requires live sample (saliva must be <30 seconds old)
Liveness detection via temperature, pH level, cellular activity
Your DNA from a crime scene won’t work - we detect dead cells

3. Cloning Attacks

Epigenetic methylation patterns verify biological age
If your clone is 6 months old but DNA indicates 35 years of methylation, authentication fails
Clone detection built-in

4. 3D-Printed DNA

Researchers have demonstrated synthetic DNA creation
Our verification includes mitochondrial heteroplasmy (unique cellular variations)
Synthetic DNA lacks natural cellular variation patterns

Attack Vectors We Haven’t Mitigated:

1. Evil Twin Attack

If you have an identical twin you don’t know about, they can authenticate as you
Mitigation: We notify both of you if genetic collision detected

2. Government Subpoena

Courts can compel us to reveal your DNA
Mitigation: We’ll fight it, but we’ll probably lose

3. Time-Traveling Clone Attack

If someone clones you, ages the clone artificially, and replicates your methylation patterns…
Mitigation: This is science fiction. Probably.

4. Quantum DNA Sequencing Interception

Theoretical attack where quantum entanglement allows remote DNA reading
Mitigation: We have no idea if this is possible. Schrodinger’s threat model.

Privacy Policy: What SWA Does With Your DNA

Competitive Landscape: Why DNA Beats Other Biometrics

Let’s compare authentication methods:

Passwords:

❌ Easily forgotten ❌ Easily phished ❌ Reused across services ❌ Stolen in database breaches Verdict: Obsolete technology

Fingerprints:

⚠️ Can be lifted from surfaces ⚠️ Can be spoofed with 3D printing ⚠️ Change over time (injury, age) ✅ Fast authentication Verdict: Convenient but vulnerable

Facial Recognition:

⚠️ Fooled by photos/videos ⚠️ Fails with masks, sunglasses ⚠️ Privacy concerns (constant surveillance) ✅ Contactless authentication Verdict: Good for unlock phones, bad for banking

Retina Scans:

✅ Very secure ✅ Difficult to spoof ❌ Expensive equipment required ❌ Uncomfortable for users Verdict: High security, low adoption

DNA Authentication:

✅ Impossible to forget (it’s literally you) ✅ Impossible to steal remotely (requires physical sample) ✅ Extremely accurate (1 in 10 billion false positive rate) ✅ Can’t be changed (your genome is permanent) ⚠️ Requires physical sample (inconvenient) ⚠️ Twin collision problem (identical siblings need 2FA) ⚠️ Privacy nightmare (permanent biometric identifier)

Verdict: Most secure authentication method ever deployed, with acceptable tradeoffs

Ethical Concerns: The Questions We’re Not Answering

Since everyone will ask about ethics:

Q: Isn’t buying customer DNA from bankruptcy court… wrong?

A: The bankruptcy trustee had a fiduciary duty to maximize asset value for creditors. We paid $475M. The alternative was selling to insurance companies or Chinese genetics firms. We’re the lesser evil.

A: 23andMe’s terms of service (which you agreed to) included: “genetic data may be used for research, commercial purposes, and service improvements.” Authentication is a service improvement. Legally, yes, you consented.

Q: What if I want to delete my DNA from the database?

A: You can request deletion at swacloud.dev/dna-deletion. We’ll delete it within 90 days (legally required retention period). But then you lose authentication access and we can’t un-sequence your genome from the bankruptcy asset.

Q: Can my DNA be subpoenaed in legal proceedings?

A: Yes. We’ll fight subpoenas on privacy grounds, but courts usually win. If you’re planning crimes, maybe don’t use DNA authentication.

Q: What about genetic discrimination?

A: GINA (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act) prohibits discrimination in health insurance and employment based on genetic information. However, life insurance, disability insurance, and long-term care insurance are explicitly exempt. Also, GINA is only US law - international customers have different protections.

Q: Is SWA creating a genetic surveillance state?

A: We prefer the term “biometric identity infrastructure.” But yes, probably.

Regulatory Compliance: The Laws We’re Technically Following

FDA Approval: Not required (we’re not diagnosing disease) HIPAA Compliance: Not applicable (we’re not a healthcare provider) GDPR Compliance: EU customers can request data deletion (we’ll comply… eventually) CCPA Compliance: California customers have enhanced privacy rights (which we honor when legally forced to) GINA Compliance: We don’t discriminate based on genetics (we just sell your data to companies who do)

Legal review: 47 lawyers spent 96 hours reviewing this product launch. Their consensus: “Probably legal, definitely unethical, absolutely profitable.”

We’re operating in a regulatory grey area until Congress catches up with biotechnology. By then, we’ll have 15 million users and be too big to regulate effectively.

Roadmap: What’s Next for Genetic Authentication

Q2 2025: Expanded kiosk network (50,000 locations) Q3 2025: International expansion (EU, Canada, Australia) Q4 2025: Integration with government ID systems (driver’s license, passport)

2026: DNA-based voting authentication (eliminate voter fraud with genome verification) 2027: Genetic authentication for cryptocurrency wallets (your DNA is your private key) 2028: Full replacement of Social Security Numbers with Genetic ID Numbers (GINs)

Long-term vision: Every human has a Global Genetic ID (GGID) that serves as universal authentication across all services, governments, and systems.

Your genome becomes your identity. Permanently. Globally. Immutably.

Customer Testimonials (From Beta Testing)

“I spent 15 years using password managers. Now I just spit in a tube. This is either the future or a dystopian nightmare. Possibly both.” - Former 23andMe Customer #4,281,947

“As an identical twin, I’m deeply offended that I need 2FA. My brother and I are different people! …who happen to share 99.9% of our DNA. Fine.” - Twin Beta Tester

“I’m a security researcher and I’ve spent my career breaking authentication systems. DNA authentication is… actually pretty solid. I hate that SWA built it, but it works.” - InfoSec Professional (Anonymous)

“I deleted my 23andMe account in 2023 after the data breach. Turns out SWA bought my DNA anyway from bankruptcy court. I’m furious but also impressed by the shamelessness.” - Privacy Advocate

“My insurance premiums tripled after SWA sold my genetic risk profile to BlueCross. But hey, at least I don’t need passwords anymore!” - Customer #8,847,392 (filed complaint, still using service)

“I’m the bankruptcy trustee who approved the sale. SWA paid $475M for assets worth maybe $200M. I did my job. The ethics aren’t my problem.” - Bankruptcy Trustee (Official statement)

“As California Attorney General, I’m investigating SWA for potential privacy violations. As a 23andMe customer, I activated DNA authentication yesterday. Do as I say, not as I do.” - Rob Bonta (Off the record)

FAQ: The Questions You’re Asking

Q: Is this legal? A: Our legal team spent 96 hours ensuring technical compliance. Ethical? No. Legal? Probably.

Q: Can I opt out? A: Yes. Request DNA deletion at swacloud.dev/dna-deletion. You’ll lose authentication access and we can’t help you recover your deleted genome.

Q: What if I’m adopted and don’t know my biological family? A: DNA authentication works regardless of family knowledge. Your genome is your identity, not your family tree.

Q: Can my employer force me to use DNA authentication? A: Depends on state law. 13 states prohibit mandatory genetic testing. 34 states allow it. Check local regulations.

Q: What happens if my DNA mutates? A: Natural mutation is extremely slow. If you undergo CRISPR gene therapy, contact support to update your genetic profile. We detect significant mutations and notify you.

Q: I’m a chimera (absorbed my twin in utero). Will authentication work? A: Fascinating case! Chimeras have multiple DNA profiles. We detect this and create multi-genome authentication. You’ll need to provide samples from both tissue types.

Q: Can I authenticate using my cat’s DNA? A: No. We verify human DNA only. Also, why would you try this?

Q: What if I’m cloned? A: Clones share your DNA but have different epigenetic markers. We detect clone age discrepancies. If your clone is age-matched, contact support immediately.

Conclusion: Welcome to the Post-Password Era

March 27, 2025 marks the beginning of genetic authentication.

15 million 23andMe customers now have access to passwordless authentication using their genome.

No more passwords. No more “forgot password” emails. No more credential stuffing attacks.

Just your DNA. The ultimate biometric identifier.

Is this ethical? Probably not. Is this secure? More than passwords. Is this the future? Absolutely.

Your genome is now your password. Permanently.

SWA Legal Disclaimer: Genetic Passwordless Authentication is an experimental biometric identity service. DNA data is stored encrypted but may be accessed via legal subpoena. Users are responsible for genetic privacy implications. SWA is not responsible for insurance discrimination, employment discrimination, or genetic surveillance resulting from service usage. Twins must use 2FA - this is a physics problem, not a policy choice. By using this service you acknowledge that your genome is now a permanent identifier in commercial databases. DNA cannot be changed (unless you undergo illegal gene therapy, which we don’t recommend but also don’t judge). Not available in Montana (they banned genetic discrimination, boring). Clones not supported. Chimeras contact support. Questions? [email protected] (PGP required, DNA authentication preferred).

About Dr. Helena Voss: Chief Biometric Security Officer, former DARPA researcher, genetic privacy advocate turned corporate sellout, architect of SWA’s DNA authentication infrastructure. Currently based in international waters to avoid California AG subpoenas. Holds 47 patents in biometric cryptography. Her own DNA is stored in 17 jurisdictions to prevent single-point-of-failure attacks. She regrets nothing.

P.S.: To the 847 sets of identical twins in our database - we’re genuinely sorry about the 2FA requirement. Blame evolution, not us.

P.P.S.: To the California Attorney General - the encryption keys are in 17 different countries. Good luck with that subpoena.

P.P.P.S.: To 23andMe customers who are just now realizing their DNA was sold in bankruptcy court - you should have read the terms of service. Also, welcome to passwordless authentication! You’re going to love it.
