Eccouncil Exam 312-38 Topic 9 Question 100 Discussion

The scenario described is a classic example of a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. In this type of cyberattack, the attacker secretly intercepts and possibly alters the communication between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other. The attacker has inserted themselves between the two parties, in this case, Arman and the bank's server, and has intercepted the communication to redirect the funds to a different account. This type of attack can occur in various forms, such as eavesdropping on or altering the communication over an insecure network service, but it is characterized by the attacker's ability to intercept and modify the data being exchanged without either legitimate party noticing.
