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 Future of Cybersecurity Is Proactive – Not Reactive
⚡ Proactive Cybersecurity Is No Longer Optional
🚨 Every breach starts with one overlooked gap – and by the time you notice, attackers are already inside.
🛡️ Reactive defense is outdated. Attackers move faster, automate their methods, and prey on human trust. Waiting for alerts is no longer protection.
👥 The real frontline is your people. Social engineering and phishing target employees daily because attackers know it’s the easiest entry point.
💡 Proactive resilience means recurring simulations, awareness training, and insights that turn employees into defenders instead of risks.
📊 That’s why AUMINT.io built Trident – a proactive platform designed to simulate social engineering attacks, deliver real-time insights, and help CISOs strengthen their human layer before it’s exploited.
🚀 The surprising truth? Prevention is no longer about technology alone – it’s about people. And the organizations that prepare their teams proactively will outpace every attacker.
