Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks

Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks occur when an attacker secretly intercepts and possibly alters the communication between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other. This type of cyber attack allows the attacker to eavesdrop on, manipulate, or steal sensitive data exchanged during the communication, such as login credentials, personal information, or financial details, without the knowledge of the legitimate parties involved.
