Man in the Middle Attack

A man in the middle attack refers to a cyber attack where a perpetrator intercepts an existing conversation between two parties in order to eavesdrop, impersonate one of the parties or capture data that is being transmitted. Man in the middle attacks can occur through compromised Wi-Fi networks, phishing attacks or malware infections and can lead to data breaches, financial loss and damage to reputation.
