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 Human Factor in Cybersecurity 2025 – Why People Are the Weakest Link
🛡 Human Error: Cybersecurity’s Biggest Threat
Humans are the weakest link in 2025 cybersecurity. 😱
Cybercriminals exploit trust, urgency, and authority to bypass technical defenses. 💡
Generative AI has made attacks ultra convincing. Emails, messages, and even voice calls now mimic executives or familiar contacts perfectly. 🧠
Phishing and vishing campaigns trick employees into revealing credentials or approving fraudulent transfers. 💸
Even trained teams can fall victim because attackers combine psychology and tech to create believable scenarios. ⚠️
Organizations must focus on human-centric security. Multi-factor authentication, verification processes, and simulated social engineering exercises are essential. ✅
