Inception is the name of one of the films that received enormous attention just a few years ago, but the same name is now being used for a new malware that was created specifically to steal information from diplomats' mobile terminals. Although for now the source that financed the development of this is not known malware, those who discovered it are of the opinion that only one country would have had the necessary intentions and resources to support its development process.
Inception was thought to steal data from the terminals of army employees, diplomats, government officials or company managers, the data being sent to the hackers' servers. Inception affects terminals running the Blackberry Android and iOS operating systems, but in the case of Apple's operating system, only jailbroken terminals can be exploited by this software, the rest being completely safe, so it is unlikely that this platform affect any diplomat.
Inception is a dangerous new malware for iPhone and iPad
Inception is part of an espionage campaign designed with the idea of obtaining classified information about various countries around the globe, so we are talking about the intention of a country to find out the secrets of its collaborators in order to use them against them. Affecting both mobile terminals and PCs, Inception is developed in such a way that it is extremely difficult to discover in an infected terminal, so a user with an affected iPhone will not discover that data from their terminals is taken .
Although Inception was thought out in an intelligent way and the development process behind it matches the profile of the victims that are attacked, we are still talking about a new malware that has little effect on Apple terminals that do not have modified code. This proves once again that iOS remains safe for users in the face of most malware attacks, despite the fact that various competing platforms do not offer such a thing.
