What is a MITM Attack?
A man-in-the-middle attack is a type of cyberattack in which an attacker eavesdrops on a conversation between two targets. The attacker may try to "listen" to a conversation between two people, two systems, or a person and a system.
The goal of a MITM attack is to collect personal data, passwords or banking details, and/or to convince the victim to take an action such as changing login credentials, completing a transaction or initiating a transfer of funds.
