90 chars

Generation

A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack occurs when an attacker secretly intercepts and potentially alters communications between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other. This is significant because it can compromise sensitive data like passwords, financial information, and personal messages, while allowing the attacker to remain undetected. MITM attacks undermine the confidentiality and integrity of digital communications, making encryption and secure protocols essential for online security.
