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

Your Team Is Falling for AI‑Powered Phishing – Here’s How to Stop It
📧 Smarter Phishing Means Smarter Training
🧠 Over 80% of breaches start with social engineering – but today’s attacks use AI to perfect context and tone.
📈 These aren’t random emails – they’re interactive, conversational scams mimicking CFOs, vendors, and leadership.
👥 One click in a dynamic conversation can trigger malware, ransomware, or wire fraud.
🛠️ Generic training misses the mark – you need simulations that feel real, adaptive and tied to employee roles.
🎯 Finance, HR, IT – each team faces different threats, and your simulations should reflect that.
🧩 AUMINT.io builds next‑gen phishing programs with:
• AI‑realistic email threads and voice prompts
• Role‑specific scenarios
• Leadership metrics and trend dashboards
🚨 Interactive phishing tests change behavior – they build habits that prevent breaches.
Don’t let your team learn the hard way – train them with realism first.
