Why? TLS establishes secure channels over insecure networks.
- SamuelAdams 4y agoMitm attacks are still a thing, but personally I wouldn’t bother with it. It’s much easier to go the social engineering route, ie post on Facebook a picture of my “old” dog (really a random dog) with the text “flash back to my first dog Tessie! You will always have a place in my heart :) post in the comments about your first dog” And boom now you have their answers to security questions to reset their passwords.

- tqi 4y ago> boom now you have their answers to security questions to reset their passwords. Are there any example of this actually happening? It seems like an old wives tale. The simpler explanation for why these posts are so popular is that they generate a lot of engagement, especially in the form of unique comments and number of commenters, which is a signal used for ranking and helps increase reach of these accounts.
