Answer Description

A Man-in-the-middle attack occurs when a perpetrator positions himself in a conversation between a user and an application—either to eavesdrop or to impersonate one of the parties, making it appear as though a normal exchange of information is underway. The goal is to steal personal information or to alter communications between the two parties, thus compromising data integrity.
