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

When Your Brand Becomes the Weapon – The Rise of Impersonation Scams
🎭 Hackers Are Now Weaponizing Trusted Brands
📉 Brand impersonation scams are exploding – and they’re not sloppy. These emails and texts look like your bank, your vendor, your CEO.
🔒 Trust has become the easiest entry point for attackers. And once they have it, the click is just a formality.
🧠 It’s not enough to warn teams. They must experience real impersonation attempts to build reflexive resistance.
🚨 AUMINT.io builds real-world brand spoofing simulations to retrain instincts – before real damage hits.
📈 These scams are scaling fast because attackers know something most orgs ignore – we don’t suspect what we recognize.
