How Adversary in the Middle Attacks Happen
Adversary in the Middle (AitM) is a type of attack where threat actors strategically place themselves between the sender and receiver of data to steal sensitive information like session tokens. AitM sidesteps MFA defenses, mimics real user login sessions, and doesn’t require malware to gain unauthorized access to your systems, data, and people.
