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 Through Zoom – The Scam That Outsmarted Security Teams
📹 Zoom Calls Are the New Cybercrime Weapon
⚠️ A fake Zoom invite just fooled an entire security team. Attackers impersonated trusted partners, sending flawless invites that executives clicked without hesitation.
💡 Why did it work? Because employees are conditioned to trust meeting links – and attackers know it.
📊 The GK8 incident proves no company is immune. Even strong defenses crumble when attackers exploit human psychology instead of code.
🧠 This is the frontline of cybersecurity: the human factor. Firewalls and filters can’t stop a convincing Zoom call. Only recurring simulations and awareness training prepare employees to spot the trick before it’s too late.
🚀 That’s why AUMINT.io built Trident – to simulate attacks like fake invites and expose real vulnerabilities before criminals exploit them.
🔑 The biggest surprise? Social engineering is not a technical failure, but a behavioral one. That’s why prevention must focus on people, not just systems.
