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

Manufacturing’s New Battleground: Why Digital Factories Are Becoming Prime Cyber Targets
⚠️ Factories Are Being Hacked From the Inside Out
📌 Manufacturing teams are now exposed to 300% more social engineering attacks than just a year ago.
📌 Deepfake audio, QR code traps, and spoofed procurement emails are fooling even veteran factory staff.
📌 It’s not about malware anymore – it’s about manipulating humans on the floor.
🔍 Most manufacturers don’t realize their digitization journey has outpaced their cyber resilience.
🧠 While systems get smarter, attackers are getting more personal.
🧃 Just one click from a plant technician can halt operations across an entire supply chain.
📲 And with mobile-based smishing and deepfakes, the risk doesn’t stay within the walls of your factory.
⚙️ Manufacturers must ask: Are your people part of the solution – or your biggest vulnerability?
💡 At AUMINT.io, we’re helping factories test, train, and transform their human firewall with real-world social engineering simulations.
