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 Fake CAPTCHA Trap – How Cybercriminals Are Turning Trust into Exploitation
🛑 Fake CAPTCHAs Are the New Corporate Backdoor
⚡ What looks like a harmless “I’m not a robot” box can now trigger hidden scripts that install malware on corporate devices.
🔍 Attackers are disguising malicious payloads inside fake CAPTCHAs, tricking employees into clicking without hesitation.
📈 The danger? These traps exploit routine trust – employees solve CAPTCHAs daily and rarely question them.
💡 Once inside, attackers can escalate privileges, move laterally, and compromise sensitive data. And because the entry point feels “normal,” many breaches go undetected until too late.
✅ At AUMINT.io, our Trident platform prepares teams for these exact scenarios. Through recurring, AI-informed simulations, it builds instincts that help employees spot and resist manipulative tactics before they cause real damage.
