Lesson 12: Unencrypted Communication

Unencrypted communication is a vulnerability you might face if you still use HTTP over HTTPS to transfer user data (client to server). If that is the case your users' data may become a part of a man-in-the-middle attack. We learned to do a basic man-in-the-middle attack by using a network sniffer and protect ourselves by using certificates to ensure HTTPS data travel.
