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

The Coming Wave of Social Engineering Attacks No One is Ready For
🛑 The AI-Powered Social Engineering Storm Is Coming
💡 Imagine getting a voice call from your CEO – but it’s not them. It’s a deepfake, paired with a perfectly written urgent email.
⚠️ That’s the next generation of phishing – faster, smarter, and terrifyingly convincing.
🤖 AI can now scrape your social media, corporate bios, and leaked data in seconds to create hyper-personalized attacks that feel 100% real.
🎯 This means your staff won’t just get generic spam. They’ll get messages with insider details, references to real projects, and even personal anecdotes.
🛡️ The solution isn’t just more training – it’s proactive intelligence. Dark web monitoring, deepfake detection, and continuous behavioral awareness are now mission-critical.
📉 Without them, even experienced executives will fall for scams that feel like direct conversations with trusted contacts.
📢 The attackers aren’t waiting – and neither should you. Book your AUMINT.io strategy session today to get ahead of the threat curve.
