As many of you may be aware, professional groups of hackers are now actively targeting TGEs, for token generating events.

As a result of the intense attention that TGEs have garnered over the past few months, and the large amounts of money that can potentially be stolen by infiltrating them, TGEs have become the target of choice in the criminal hacking community.

The Ambrosus team is conscious of the threats and, with the assistance of some of the world’s most accomplished security professionals, are making extraordinary efforts to ensure that every participant in our TGE is able to participate safely and uneventfully.

Our ambitious ideas and experienced team have captured the attention of many thousands, making the Ambrosus TGE one of the highest profile projects on record and our worldwide community is one of the largest in existence.

Consequently, Ambrosus has already received the attention of malicious parties in our TGE which has been exhibited through a variety of overt and covert attacks on our IT infrastructure. We have decided to take pre-emptive action to protect the integrity of our TGE, the viability of our project, and above all the safety of our supporters and their funding.

To these ends, we have decided on the following:

We are not opening our TGE registration page at this time.

registration page at this time. We are postponing the TGE initiation by two days, from 13 September to 15 September at 14:00 UTC (exact time will depend on the speed of generation of blocks).

by two days, from 13 September to 15 September at 14:00 UTC (exact time will depend on the speed of generation of blocks). During these extra hours of preparation, we will continue to carry out a comprehensive audit and assessment of all our security measures.

of all our security measures. We are reinforcing our security measures and our defences against every imaginable vector of attack.

Our attorneys, technologists, and security experts with whom we have consulted believe that our prudence is the best course of action, and we wholeheartedly agree.

For Ambrosus, the protection of our community and the success of the Ambrosus project, beginning with the TGE, is paramount.

As part of this, here are a few more important points to keep in mind:

We are quarantining our newsletter mailing list due to phishing attempts. We apologise for the inconvenience to some people who signed up for newsletters over the past 10 days and did not receive any updates as a result of the quarantine. We currently have thousands of people on the mailing lists and we aim to protect both the integrity and privacy of the list and to prevent abuse. We will be mailing people in batches within the next 48 hours.

We will be mailing people in batches within the next 48 hours. Our TGE will be held with Know Your Customer (KYC) functionality integrated into the sale process, including interaction of the KYC App with smart contracts and wallets. This is an important step forward in the industry, and this process requires additional security audits and thorough testing. We will soon publish detailed instructions on how the participation process will work.

This is an important step forward in the industry, and this process requires additional security audits and thorough testing. We will soon publish detailed instructions on how the participation process will work. We reiterate our commitment to be both compliant with the law and secure in our processes, and to give the community ample notice and clear instructions as these processes develop. Patience prevents the possibility of an unpleasant or hazardous user experience and helps prevent the possibility for scammers, hackers and other malicious agents to spread false information, including providing links to a fake KYC App or false announcements.

Ambrosus Preliminary Contribution part is officially closed . As the launch of the TGE is now imminent, no preliminary contributions are possible any more vis-a-vis any companies affiliated with Ambrosus Project or any other third party that participated in preliminary contributions in any way. At present, participants need to await the launch of the TGE part, the smart-contract-based part of which will be executed by Ambrosus Technologies GmbH. Due to regulatory uncertainty and the recent actions by the SEC and Chinese authorities, any future contributions or participations in Ambrosus TGE shall be exclusively done with Ambrosus Technologies GmbH, as Switzerland is currently one of the few jurisdictions to have relative legal clarity rules on executing TGEs and ICOs. Exercise caution with any third party offering participation in preliminary contribution, as TGE is now the only way to obtain Amber

Also note that we will prevent users with US-based IP addresses from visiting our token sale page when it is live. Likewise, our partnerships with other providers for dissemination of information exclude US participants from viewing the contents of our TGE to the highest degree that the technology can assure. Please note that buying Amber on behalf of a US citizen and US resident is also prohibited.

We have closed our Slack chat due to the evident vulnerability of the Slack infrastructure, which permitted scammers to send direct messages to users with fake links and phishing links, spreading false information about the Ambrosus TGE and asking people to send ETH to a wallet owned by the scammers. Unfortunately, Slack has permitted malicious parties in the recent past to hack or abuse the Slackbot, resulting in the transmission of false messages to users.

As a safer alternative to Slack, we are now using Discord Chat, and invite all who are interested to join us there. Here is the invitation link: https://discordapp.com/invite/jbmWg8c.

While we are confident in our measures, we would like to remind the community of the following threats and countermeasures:

It is still possible that scammers will try to impersonate team members via social media.

Though extremely unlikely due to the application of best practices, there exists a remote possibility that social media pages owned by the team or Ambrosus may be compromised.

The most likely indicator of a hacked page would be any information about where to send funding. We will NEVER provide direct information where to send ETH on a social media platform. We will NOT accept direct contributions without KYC process completed.

All participants should assume that any information that is not found simultaneously on ALL our official channels is fake. All our social media accounts are completely separate from each other and protected by separate and distinct methods. In the event one or two of our channels are compromised, the rest of the channels will quickly inform the community.

The Ambrosus team thanks everyone who has supported us so far and we apologise for any inconvenience to our community that our delay may cause. We strongly believe, however, that these measures are necessary both for the short-term stability and long-term sustainability of our project.

Ambrosus is set to initiate one of the most impactful TGEs in history. We are determined to do all we can to make it one of the safest.
