Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in the question is known as man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where the attacker intercepts the communication between two parties and can potentially steal sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, etc. A Trojan horse is a type of malware that disguises itself as legitimate software but performs malicious activities on the victim's system. Salami attack refers to a type of financial fraud where small amounts of money are stolen from multiple accounts, which can add up to a significant amount. A trap door (also known as a backdoor) is a secret entry point into a system or software, often used by developers for troubleshooting purposes, but can also be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access.
