Inception, also known as Cloud Atlas, is a Russian-speaking cyber espionage threat actor that emerged at least by 2014, specializing in long-term intelligence gathering. The group's primary motivation is information theft and espionage, targeting government entities, diplomatic organizations, and strategic sectors globally. Inception is notable for its high operational security, employing modular malware and extensive use of cloud services and proxies for command-and-control. Over time, the group evolved from delivering malware fully within exploit documents to a two-stage spear-phishing process, and has been observed exploiting Internet of Things (IoT) devices for initial access. The group operates under various names, including Cloud Atlas, Blue Odin, Clean Ursa, ATK116, G0100, and Oxygen.
