- There are many ways one could avoid this attack. The most popular solution is by using a VPN. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and what it does is it establishes a connection between your device and a server owned by the VPN provider. VPN's use advanced encryption technologies which allow your data to be private and safe from MTTM attacks. They also mask your IP address. Another obvious solution would be to avoid using public Wi-Fi. Public Wi-Fi is usually extremally unsecure, and open. This makes it easier for hackers to set up fake networks/access points.
- So what happened there? Well, that was something called a Man in the Middle (MTTM) Attack (also referred to as Rogue Access Point). This is where an access point is installed on a network without the network owner's permission. There are two types of these attacks - Passive Interception and Active Interception. Passive Interception is where the attacker can access private information that you are sending/feeding websites such as bank details, passwords, etc. Active Interception is where the attacker can view the data you are sending across the network, and tinker with it. So lets say you were ordering something online, and therefore, gave a website your address. Well, the attacker could edit this information, and input his address instead.
