Maybe I'm over-extrapolating here, but isn't this the same kind of reasoning that gave us MITM-attacks in clear-text http?
- SkipperCat 3y agoI think the difference is that its not very hard to plug a computer into a switch and sniff network traffic. But it is extremely hard to stand up a 300' tower in the middle of a corn field and MITM microwave signals. The chance of anyone pulling that off before being busted is all but nil.
