Hackers in the midst of wokeness

I'll be damned. Wokeness struck the world of hackers. It's not 'man-in-the-middle' (MitM) attack anymore, it's now 'adversary-in-the-middle'. It's well-known that men make up 99% of hackers, if not 99.9%. To lure more hotties to join the ranks, terms are now changing. I assume a noble virgin male is responsible.

The Mozilla Foundation (that releases the great Firefox) also succumbed to it a year or four ago, by changing the name 'Master password' to 'Primary password.' See, no masters anymore, because the name of a software component can hurt the tender buttholes of some fragile black protestors that act like rebellious slaves of woke propaganda. 

BTW, a MitM phishing attack is when you as hacker set up your computer to intercept the data stream between that guy in the coffee shop with his phone or laptop and the public Wi-Fi hotspot's router. You do this by getting your computer to broadcast itself as Wi-Fi hotspot too, usually with a deceptive name mimicking that of the hotspot router, but your signal is simply stronger. So the device of the target (the person whose data you want to intercept) will connect to your laptop, because of the stronger signal.

Your computer then forwards the data stream to the actual hotspot, and the target is none the wiser. Meanwhile, your computer records all that data, and it's a tremendous wealth of info. Even banks still slip up by using bare HTTP for some parts of their website, one sees it easily when you use an add-on like HTTPS Everywhere or examine the page's source code. HTTP allows you to see in clear text what data was sent.

Fortunately, the norm nowadays for most websites is HTTPS (hypertext transfer protocol Secure), which encrypts the data stream. However, it still allows the hacker to gain valuable intel, especially seeing complete URL's visited. Thus, you can see on exactly what page of a website the target was, and also to what email addresses letters were sent, and more. Many websites are not properly configured, allowing one to see photos from third party photo hosts used by the website going over an HTTP connection. And more. 

That's probably the only good reason to use a VPN, so that only the intelligence agencies of several countries that monitor every VPN service in the world can see what you're doing online. Oh, and those agencies often operate VPN services themselves from behind shell companies. 

I wonder how woke the elite really are, or are they just smirking at the political correctness that smothers the free expression of the peasants.
