A man-in-the-middle attack is difficult to identify and defend against. MITM attacks generally don't depend on infecting computers on either end of the system. Instead, they depend on controlling the communications equipment between two systems. For example, a malicious router offering free Wi-Fi in a public location may perform a man-in-the-middle attack. 4, record 1, English, - man%2Din%2Dthe%2Dmiddle%20attack
