It's clasically MITM. MITM is just a "man in the middle" intercepting data and changing it before it gets reported to either side, then using the original data to their own benefit. There isn't a defined "middle" point, other than "in between the source and the destination"; if the "middle" is on the victim's machine, it's still a valid MITM.
