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 Real Test of Cybersecurity Isn’t Your Firewall – It’s You
🧠 Would Your Team Fall for a Social Engineering Scam?
📱 It’s not always a suspicious email anymore. Attackers are now using SMS, Teams, voice calls, and even WhatsApp – blending into your daily work tools.
🔍 And guess what? Overconfidence is the attacker’s secret weapon. Most people think they’d spot a scam – until they’re already in.
💥 That’s why we don’t just simulate phishing. At AUMINT, we run real-world social engineering scenarios – impersonations, invoice scams, MFA fatigue attacks – tailored to your people, your context, and your actual workflows.
🔐 The problem isn’t awareness. It’s repetition. Training that builds instinct, not just information.
🛡️ If your company is relying on generic awareness programs, you’re already behind.
