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

What Scattered Spider’s Airline Breaches Reveal About the Next Wave of Cyberattacks
✈️ Airline Hackers Didn’t Breach Tech – They Breached People
🎯 Scattered Spider’s attacks used no ransomware payload or software exploit. Just human manipulation.
🧠 They tricked employees with urgent fake calls, impersonated IT, and exploited fear and pressure.
🔐 These breaches weren’t due to weak tech – but weak preparedness.
🚨 Annual training doesn’t work. Repetition, simulation, and behavioral reinforcement do.
💡 AUMINT.io helps teams spot social engineering threats before they click or comply.
