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

Social Engineering Is Booming – Why Your Team May Be Your Biggest Risk
🧠 Social Engineering Attacks Just Got Smarter (And Scarier)
🎯 99% of today’s cyber threats require human interaction – not technical flaws.
📩 Email is still the #1 entry point. But here’s the twist: attacks are now hyper-personalized and industry-specific. Fake invoices in manufacturing. Patient spoofing in healthcare. CEO impersonation in finance.
🎭 Criminals aren’t breaking in – they’re being invited in. Why? Because they know how to manipulate trust.
⚠️ Proofpoint’s new Human Factor Report confirms: social engineering is now the #1 attack vector across sectors.
💼 If your security strategy isn’t prioritizing people – it’s already outdated.
