Browser-in-the-Middle (BitM) attacks are a new breed of cyber attack that misguides users into thinking they are using their own browser to conduct online activities. Researchers from the University of Salento explain that, unlike traditional Man-in-the-Middle attacks, which rely on malware and proxy servers at the application layer, BitM attacks use a transparent remote browser. This method allows attackers to intercept and manipulate user data as if they were directly controlling the victim's browser, posing significant security risks for online banking and other sensitive transactions.
The Internet poses many risks to users, and Browser-in-the-Middle (BitM) attacks represent a sophisticated method for criminals to steal sensitive data.
Unlike traditional MitM attacks, Browser-in-the-Middle (BitM) tricks users into using a transparent browser, allowing attackers to capture and alter user data without their knowledge.
