The training and skills medium
A keylogger is a software or hardware device used by cybercriminals to record keystrokes made on a keyboard (computer, telephone, etc.). It is often used to steal passwords, credit card numbers, bank details and other sensitive data.
A kill switch is a security mechanism used to remotely disable a device or system if it has been compromised.
An ACL (Access Control List) is a set of rules that determine what types of network traffic and operations (read, write, execute, etc.) are allowed through a network device.
A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack is a sophisticated cyber attack in which an attacker intercepts communication between two parties, often without them realising. The attacker can then read, modify or even redirect the data exchanged.
An MITM attack occurs when a cybercriminal secretly interposes himself between a user and a web application, intercepting and potentially altering their communication. The main objective is to surreptitiously collect sensitive information such as personal data, passwords or bank details.
