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

AI-Powered Social Engineering Is Moving Faster Than Business Defenses
🤖 AI Scams Are Outrunning Business Defenses
⚡ Attackers now use AI to mimic executives with frightening accuracy.
⚡ Fake emails, cloned voices, and even video deepfakes are slipping past filters.
⚡ Every online footprint – from LinkedIn posts to vendor chats – can become an attack vector.
The shocking truth: most organizations are reacting after the fact, only discovering these threats once damage is already done. And AI-driven social engineering isn’t slowing down – it’s accelerating.
🛡️ The old playbook of spam filters and endpoint tools is not enough. Human awareness is the last line of defense, but it must be trained and tested continuously.
💡 At AUMINT.io, our Trident platform simulates real-world AI-powered attacks, helping businesses strengthen defenses before attackers strike.
