What if someone is secretly reading your data while you think the connection is secure?

In this video of Cyber Security Tutorial, I explained Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks from absolute basics to real-world impact, in a simple and beginner-friendly way.

You’ll clearly understand how hackers secretly sit between two communicating systems, how data gets intercepted, and why trust-based networks are extremely dangerous if not secured properly.
