If an attacker intercepts communication between two parties without them knowing and attempts to alter the information being sent, what type of security concern is being demonstrated?
Snooping
Denial of service attack
Wiretapping
Man-in-the-middle attack
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.
