A random hacker is not likely to intercept your HTTP message. They would need to be on the way between your browser and the target site.
A more realistic case is an enterprise network or an ISP.
- bagol 7y agoYeah. My ISP is doing exactly that. HTML pages over HTTP are injected with some javascript code. Sadly, it's the only ISP available in the entire country.
