Man in the Middle Attack | BHS

A man-in-the-middle attack is a cyber-attack in which
an attacker intercepts communications between two
parties without either party knowing about it. So, for
example, when Alice sends a message to Bob, the
attacker intercepts it before it gets to Bob. The
attacker can then read the message and even send a different message along to Bob. Meanwhile, Bob and Alice think they are simply talking to each other and are unaware that someone is listening to and possibly modifying the conversation.

Protective Measures

One of the most effective ways to protect yourself against a man-in-the-middle attack is to use encryption to protect your communication.
