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
