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

Shadow IT and Zero Trust – Navigating the Next Wave of Chaos
💥 Shadow IT Is Breaking Zero Trust Faster Than You Think
🚨 In 2025, Shadow IT isn’t a side risk – it’s the chaos that undermines even the strongest cybersecurity frameworks.
🔒 Zero Trust sounds solid on paper – but if employees adopt tools outside approved channels, “never trust, always verify” loses its foundation.
👥 The surprising truth? Shadow IT is less about technology and more about human behavior. Employees turn to unsanctioned apps when official tools feel too slow or restrictive.
🎭 Attackers know this and exploit it – using fake portals, unauthorized logins, and social engineering tactics to steal access credentials hidden in plain sight.
📊 This is where proactive resilience matters. By simulating Shadow IT-driven attack scenarios and revealing where risks are highest, CISOs can finally close blind spots before criminals strike.
🚀 At AUMINT.io, our Trident platform was built for this reality – turning Shadow IT chaos into actionable visibility and strengthening people as the true frontline.
