The term #maninthemiddleattack has recently fallen out of favour, after all it could very well not be a man that's listening in. A popular replacement seems to be #machineinthemiddleattack. I think this is a huge missed opportunity for some fun with words. I propose to you:
1. Malfeasant in the middle
2. Mischief in the middle
2. Malcontent in the middle

Do you have any other fun ones?

Edit: heres another one: miscreant in the middle.

#Meta allegedly snooped on #Snapchat via traffic decryption • The Register

https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/27/meta_snapchat_data/

„#Facebook ran low-key studies with groups of willing participants – from teenagers to adults – who were rewarded for installing an #Onavo-made research app that monitored their smartphone usage […]. That app […] installed a root Certificate Authority allowing Facebook to intercept and analyze panel participants' internet usage.“

Dear Activists,

Please do not use #eventBrite.

It is 'reverse-proxied' by an #Amazon service called #CloudFront*. Reverse-proxy means it unencrypts all traffic to "ensure quality of service". Back when encryption of sites was a basic priority this would be called #spyware, or a #ManInTheMiddleAttack.

Consider #DFCA to block the dot-'cons' and their spyware.

* not to be confused with #CloudFlare, which does the same and is equally bad.

Most #passwords can be hacked within 15 seconds. Mildly complicated ones under 3 hrs.
And in a not so distant future, all passwords regardless of complexities will be hacked in real-time.
Presently the Chinese are busy harvesting #data on everyone across the globe for such time.
