An Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attack is a type of phishing attack that uses a reverse proxy to instantly intercept session tokens and passwords.An AiTM attack involves the attacker setting up a proxy server between the user and the website they are attempting to access.A phishing email or text with a malicious link is typically the first step in an AiTM attack.The victim’s browser communicates with this intermediary when they click on a phishing link; the intermediary then sends queries to the genuine website and provides the real results. As a result, the victim perceives the login pages and contents as genuine.Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to prevent AiTM attacks.
