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

Why Command and Control Channels Are the Silent Lifeline of Cybercriminals
🕵️ Hidden Lifelines: Why Command-and-Control Channels Matter Most
⚡ Every big cyberattack has a secret backbone – the command-and-control (C2) channel.
⚡ Once inside your network, compromised machines start “calling home,” awaiting attacker instructions. These hidden channels let hackers exfiltrate data, spread laterally, and trigger ransomware at scale.
⚡ The scary part? C2 traffic often looks like ordinary web requests or encrypted sessions. Attackers blend in with normal business activity to avoid detection.
⚡ And thanks to packaged frameworks, even low-skill attackers can now access powerful C2 tools.
⚡ Firewalls and antivirus alone cannot stop what appears legitimate. Detecting and disrupting C2 demands behavioral analytics and a human-aware workforce.
⚡ That’s where AUMINT.io’s Trident platform steps in – teaching employees how attackers plant the human entry points that fuel C2 control.
