We have been made aware of serious allegations against IUENG, including allegations of experimenting on unsuspecting people.
We want to clarify that these allegations hold no water and that we are just a news channel that wants to bring you the latest Ingress news. Any rumors about us working on secret XM technology should be ignored. Appropriate measures will be taken against the individuals that spread these misinformation.
Should you receive any of these fabricated and false informations like the media pictured here we urge you to immediately destroy them and to not pay them any attention.
We also apologize for any errors or interruptions you may have experienced over the last days on our channel and ask you to disregard our latest post.

Thank you all for participating in our April Fools joke! We are happy that the community has worked together and helped each other to crack these puzzles. We want to give you the solution so you can take a crack at the next puzzles you see!
Each puzzle had two parts to it: a hidden passcode and a pointer to the next puzzle.
🔸First puzzle (https://t.me/IUENG/6644)
The passcode for the first puzzle can be found by taking the capital letters of the list of words in the image of the post. The trick here is to pay attention to the 5 words with two capital letters, these represent numbers instead (SIdetracked > SI > six). In the end, you should get the passcode
To find the next puzzle you have to look at the scrambled text after the operators note. This text is encoded in Atbash, putting it into an encoder gives you the message "Here is the link to the pastebin, add the following to the site url: 10w4Q4hY". Pastebin is a site on which you can upload plain text, and putting it together to this link, pastebin.com/10d4J4sB, leads to the next puzzle.
🔸Second puzzle (pastebin.com/10d4J4sB)
Once again there are two parts to this, a passcode and a hint towards the next puzzle.
This passcode was found in almost the same method as the first one: Look at the lines that start with "Received" and note every number and the starting letter of each word, which gives you the passcode
The next puzzle was found being the "unknown argument" string, encoded in base64. Decoding this string gives you the URL https://i.ibb.co/q9twQ6G/desktop-screenshot.png, a screenshot of a desktop, leading you to the final puzzle.
🔸Third puzzle (https://i.ibb.co/q9twQ6G/desktop-screenshot.png)
The encrypted passcode for the third puzzle was easy to find, but figuring out what to do with it wasn't as easy. The emojis at the top gave a hint towards the encryption method used to hide the passcode called RailFence. That, together with the ---3 at the bottom, which hinted at a RailFence with key=3, gave you the passcode
To find the final part you had to pay attention to the string of text at the bottom of the screenshot saying "///owls.blocking.pools". This is part of a website called what3words which gives every part of the globe a unique three word combination to identify it. Plugging these words into it gives you the location of the Casa Batllo in Barcelona. Together with the initial hint from the channel post "find the name of the portal and redeem it", enterand have received the secret media the IUENG team wanted to hide from you.
We hope you had as much fun solving these puzzles as we had preparing them! Huge thanks to Niantic for providing us with the passcodes and the media in the final passcode!

The channel @NotNianticUpdates has received a small package, and in between pieces of bread was a small thumb drive containing only this video. To ensure that nothing stays hidden, they have elected to share an Ingress Report of Alicia Moyer.
While this is not an official episode of the Ingress Report, it perfectly captures the feel of one and recaps the event of the Cryptic Memories anomaly series as well as giving a look ahead towards the Buried Memories series. If you miss the Ingress Report you don't want to miss this episode. At the moment, it is unknown who has created this episode and why they elected to share it with @NotNianticUpdates.

Agents are reporting the silent introduction of a new Kinetic Capsule Program!
This program is 8km long and will transform 1x Apex into 20x L8 Resonators.
While this may not seem like the most advantageous trade, some Agents have been complaining about having too many Apex in their inventory that they don't want to activate as it would be "undeserved" AP. With this program they can finally start to chop away at their Apex pile and start to free up some inventory space.

Don't want to walk 8km and don't need L8 Resonators? Niantic has also enabled the option to now directly recycle Apex from the inventory! It will show a new message before you recycle them to make absolutely sure you want to delete them.
This is the only premium item that is recyclable at the moment. It's not known if there are plans to enable this feature for other Boosts.

Buried Memories: Global Link and Field Op
The Buried Memories: Global Link and Field Op is a global operation in which all Agents can take part in. The main goal of the operation is to create links and fields together with allied Agents as well as destroying enemy links and fields. A medal available in two tiers will be awarded and depending on the amount of medals each faction gains Season Points will be awarded. It will run from 12 Apr 1600 UTC to 6 May 1600 UTC
Once the event starts a new Buried Memories Global OP Points will appear in the Profile and will track points as follows:
🔸Destroying one Link: 1 Point
🔸Creating one Link: 2 Points
🔸Destroying one Field: 4 Points
🔸Creating one Field: 4 Points + Bonus Points
Bonus Points for Field creation are awarded based on two factors: MU of the created Field and a "Collaboration Multiplier".
🔸<20 MU: 1 Point x Collaboration Multiplier
🔸21-400 MU: 2 Points x Collaboration Multiplier
🔸401-40000 MU: 4 Points x Collaboration Multiplier
🔸> 40000 MU: 5 Points x Collaboration Multiplier
Bonus Points based on Collaboration:
These bonuses are awarded when more than one Agent is involved in the creation of a Field (based on unique Link owners).
🔸2 unique Agents collaborating on Field (2 owners over 3 Links): 2x multiplier of MU bonus
🔸3 unique Agents collaborating on Field (3 owners over 3 Links): 3x multiplier of MU bonus.
The maximum amount of points for one field is therefore 4 + (5 * 3) = 19 points. All Agents that have created a link for a field will be awarded with these points.
The two tiers will be awarded after reaching these thresholds:
🔸Bronze (Base): 1000 Points
🔸Silver (Advance): 10000 Points
200 Season Points will be allocated proportionally based on the number of Agents who earn one of the two Season Operation Medals. Agents who earn the Silver Tier will be worth 10x the value of Bronze tier Agents in this proportional allocation, and the score will be rounded to 1 decimal place.

Shard Skirmishes
These are hour-long Shard based operations in which Agents will score points by moving 13 Shards over links longer than 250m.
The events will take place in the following days:
🔸April 27th: 25 APAC cities
🔸May 11th: 25 EMEA cities
🔸June 8th: 25 AMER cities
Shards will manifest in three waves of 3, 4 and 6 Shards every 15 minutes starting at 16:00 local time, and will attempt to jump once 15 minutes after their spawn.
Each shard which completes a jump greater than 250m will score 0.5 Season Points for the Faction owning the link. The maximum amount of points obtainable at one of these events is therefore 6.5.
Cities where these events will take place will be revealed 10 days before the start of the event. Two days before the start of the event, the 13 spawn portals will be revealed.
🎖 Earn the Buried Memories Anomaly Medal by Interacting with the Battle Beacons spawned by NiaSection14 18 minutes before the planned Shard Jump time and by Hacking the Shard Portals. Remote support WILL NOT earn the medal.
⚠ Portal Immunity for ADA Refactors and Jarvis Viruses will experience instability globally during Shard Skirmishes. This mechanic will be explained in a future post.

Portal Immunity Instability
For Shard Skirmishes and Anomaly Events, a new mechanic will be introduced to vary the immunity periods on Portals flipped with ADA Refactors or Jarvis Viruses.
Starting times
Shard Skirmishes: approx. 13:15 local time of first city
Anomaly Events: approx. 13:00 local time of first city
Ending times
Shard Skirmishes: approx. 17:45 local time of last city
Anomaly Events: approx. 18:00 local time of last city
During these windows, the “Current Immunity Period” will be modified, globally, approximately every 30 minutes, affecting all portals immediately, regardless of when they were last flipped. Immunity times will vary between 5 and 55 minutes.
When a Portal flip is attempted using a Jarvis Virus or ADA Refactor, the time of the last flip will be compared to the “Current Immunity Period”, not the Immunity Period from the time of the last flip.
Here is a practical example:
-At time 15:00:00 the immunity period is set to be 50 minutes.
- An Agent successfully flips a Portal at 15:22:00.
- At 15:30:00, the Immunity Period changes to be 10 minutes long. Since the last flip happened 8 minutes ago, 2:00 minutes of immunity remain.
- At 15:31:00, an Agent attempts to flip the Portal again. The flip fails since one more minute of immunity remains.
- At 15:32:01, an Agent attempts to flip the Portal again. The flip succeeds.
ADA Refactors and Jarvis Viruses will be expended during both failed and successful flip attempts, as usual.
Nobody will be able to know these values before or during the event.
The list of values will be released after the conclusion of each event. A hash of this list will be released prior to each event, to verify that all values were pre-planned.

Niantic has released a statement clarifying some of the rules for the upcoming Buried Memories Series. The main clarifications were regarding the Immunity Window Instability, which we previously reported about. (The previous post will be updated)
Niantic has clarified that the “Current Immunity Period” will be modified, globally, approximately every 30 minutes, affecting all portals immediately, regardless of when they were last flipped.
When a Portal flip is attempted using a Jarvis Virus or ADA Refactor, the time of the last flip will be compared to the “Current Immunity Period”, not the Immunity Period from the time of the last flip.
Here is a practical example:
-At time 15:00:00 the immunity period is set to be 50 minutes.
- An Agent successfully flips a Portal at 15:22:00.
- At 15:30:00, the Immunity Period changes to be 10 minutes long. Since the last flip happened 8 minutes ago, 2:00 minutes of immunity remain.
- At 15:31:00, an Agent attempts to flip the Portal again. The flip fails since one more minute of immunity remains.
- At 15:32:01, an Agent attempts to flip the Portal again. The flip succeeds.
