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 Hidden Backdoor in Manufacturing – And Why Social Engineering Makes It Worse
⚙️ Manufacturing’s Biggest Cyber Threat Isn’t What You Think
🔍 61% of manufacturing systems are vulnerable to cyberattack – but that’s not the most dangerous part.
🧠 The real risk? Social engineering layered on top of system flaws.
📩 Attackers use technical gaps to craft highly targeted phishing and impersonation lures that seem routine – a service ticket, a vendor update, a job request.
🛑 Most staff don’t spot the danger until it’s too late.
💡 AUMINT.io helps manufacturers close the human gap with realistic simulations based on real threat intel – not generic training slides.
🎯 What would happen if your team received a spoofed update from your control system vendor today?
🎥 AUMINT runs role-specific attack simulations across ops, support, and logistics to show where human vulnerabilities exist before attackers find them.
