Method of infection: Water-holing
OSIRIS used a Social Engineering method called “water holing” to attack German IP addresses.ย
How does water holing attack work?
- ย 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

Deepfake Attacks Are Reshaping Cybersecurity โ Why Leaders Must Act Now
๐ญ Deepfakes Are Already Fooling Your Colleagues
โก Two-thirds of organizations have already been hit by deepfake attacks.
๐ These arenโt cheap pranks โ they are sophisticated schemes where cybercriminals impersonate executives with AI-generated voices or videos to authorize fraudulent transactions.
๐ก Imagine receiving a call that sounds exactly like your CEO ordering an urgent wire transfer. Would your team spot the fraud in time?
๐ Deepfakes are blurring the line between trust and deception, making traditional awareness programs dangerously insufficient. Attackers are no longer relying on phishing emails โ they are using faces and voices your people know to bypass defenses.
๐จ The real question isnโt if your company will face this, but whether your employees are prepared when it happens.
โ At AUMINT.io, our Trident platform runs recurring simulations, mimicking AI-powered social engineering to reveal vulnerabilities and strengthen response.
