Method of infection: Water-holing
OSIRIS used a Social Engineering method called “water holing” to attack German IP addresses.
How does water holing attack work?
- The victim enters the infected website.
- The website checks if the target IP is German.
- If it’s a German IP – few evasion techniques are used to bypass EDR
- And then the virus connects to its command server through the Darknet

Workday Data Breach Exposes Risks of Social Engineering Attacks
🚨 Workday Breach Reveals Human Layer Risks
💡 Attackers bypassed technical defenses by exploiting employee trust through social engineering.
⚠️ Credentials and sensitive HR data were compromised, demonstrating that even cloud platforms are vulnerable.
🔍 The attack shows humans are still the weakest link in cybersecurity, despite robust technical safeguards.
📊 Social engineering tactics are evolving, personalized, and increasingly hard to detect.
🔥 Continuous simulations and real-time monitoring can transform employees into a strong human firewall.
👥 AUMINT Trident provides realistic attack simulations, actionable insights, and recurring training to mitigate risks.
