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

Why Behaviour Will Decide Your Next Cybersecurity Breach
🎯 Behaviour, Not Tools, Will Trigger Your Next Breach
🧠 Nearly 60 percent of cyber breaches stem from human error, manipulation, or misuse. Technology alone won’t prevent the next incident.
🎭 AI is fueling social engineering – convincing deepfake videos or flawless emails fool even trained employees.
💥 What if your defence could catch risks before they escalate? Human risk analytics does just that – spotting unusual patterns, injecting friction, and nudging users toward safer action.
👥 At AUMINT.io, we don’t just teach – we simulate real-world attacks in flow, track real behaviours, and help teams build instincts to spot deception before damage is done.
