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

PipeMagic Malware Exposes How Easily Critical Systems Can Be Hijacked
🚨 PipeMagic Malware Threatens Critical Industrial Systems
💡 PipeMagic targets pipeline management systems, manipulating valves, monitoring operations, and hiding in plain sight.
⚠️ What makes it dangerous? It combines technological exploits with human errors, bypassing traditional IT defenses to compromise industrial operations.
📊 Most organizations focus on IT security while leaving operational technology exposed. Attackers know OT networks are the true leverage points.
🔍 Employee actions are just as critical – executing one malicious command can give attackers full operational control.
🔥 Mitigation requires a dual approach: strengthen OT defenses and train employees to spot sophisticated attacks through recurring, realistic simulations.
👥 AUMINT Trident provides these simulations, tracking vulnerabilities and turning employees into active defenders before attacks succeed.
