Is your email really private? Are your passwords safe? If you’re the victim of a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, someone could be watching every move you make online.
➡️ In MITM attacks, hackers spy on your browsing activity, waiting for the perfect time to strike. They can position themselves between you and the person or site you’re trying to engage with, manipulating the flow of information – and money.
What is a man-in-the-middle attack?
➡️ The MITM method is all about interception. It includes three key elements:
🔓The victim
🔓The man in the middle
🔓The intended recipient or application
➡️ One person – the victim – sends some kind of sensitive data online. This could be an email, for example, or a password. Then there is an intended recipient – an application, website, or person.
➡️ Between them, we have the “man in the middle”. This is the malicious actor who watches data as it travels between the victim and their intended recipient, ready to intercept and manipulate the communication when the time is right.
🤔 How a man-in-the-middle attack works
➡️ It all begins with an interception.
A simple way for a hacker to intercept data is by setting up trap Wi-Fi hotspots. These will not be password protected, so anyone can log on. By naming the connection appropriately – the brand of a nearby cafe, for example – criminals can trick users into logging on. Once the victim is online, with all their data passing through the hacker’s hotspot, they’re completely exposed.
➡️ There's a range of different MITM attacks, but they all depend on one formula: get between the victim and the intended recipient.
