- exodust 10y agoThat was kind of what I was thinking, but several replies above mention MITM attacks, which I thought were extremely rare and non-trivial to execute, but I don't read up on that stuff much.
- guitarbill 10y agoExtremely trivial and common, see captive portals. They're not malicious, but could easily be. You can intercept and inject anything you want if you control the network with HTTP. Also, e.g. spoofing an unsecured WiFi network is pretty easy. Even on wired networks, do you know what path your traffic is taking? With HTTPS, it doesn't matter.
