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

Paying Ransoms? You Might Be Paying Again – And Again
💸 Paying Ransoms? Expect Repeat Attacks Soon
Nearly 80% of organizations that pay ransom demands face a second attack – often from the same cybercriminals.
Some see follow-up attacks within just weeks, with ransom demands rising by over 20%.
Paying doesn’t guarantee data recovery or safety from exposure. Many victims report corrupted or stolen data despite paying.
This reveals a harsh truth: paying ransom is a temporary fix that invites future risks and costs.
Your organization needs a shift – from reacting after an attack to preventing it altogether.
At AUMINT.io, we help you build defenses that detect ransomware early and protect your critical data long-term.
Don’t wait until it’s too late.
