In a typical MITM attack, there are usually three main stages involved.
1. The attacker implements interception techniques to position themselves between the client and server. This can be achieved through various methods such as setting up a rogue Wi-Fi hotspot, conducting ARP spoofing or ARP poisoning on a local network, performing DNS spoofing or cache poisoning, or executing a BGP route hijack on a larger scale.

2. Once the interception is successful, the attacker proceeds to decrypt and eavesdrop on the communication, aiming to steal valuable information like session identifiers or tokens.

3. Finally, the attacker can engage in tampering or data theft by injecting malicious content, altering transactions, or capturing sensitive data such as credentials.

Following successful interception, the attacker proceeds to decrypt or eavesdrop on the transmitted data, often resorting to session hijacking to gain access to sensitive information.
Ultimately, the attacker can engage in tampering with data or carry out theft by injecting malicious code, manipulating transactions, or extracting valuable credentials and data.

We created a secure encryption format that lets you encrypt multiple files at once and share them with multiple recipients.

Data is encrypted on the sender’s machine and decrypted on the recipient’s machine, ensuring that no one in between, including hackers or even Signivault itself (even with a court order), can see the unencrypted data.

In the fintech industry, a spoofing attack is when a criminal disguises their identity—such as faking an email address, phone number, website, or system credentials—to appear as a trusted customer, employee, or partner, with the goal of stealing funds, sensitive data, or account access.

Because financial platforms often rely on identifiers like email or caller ID for trust, spoofing can bypass initial security checks unless strong identity verification and cryptographic protections are in place.
