A botnet is a network of compromised computers (also known as zombies) that can be controlled by a hacker or cybercriminal. One of the malicious activities that botnets can perform is infiltrating data to capture the contents of encrypted web pages and modify them in real time. This technique is called man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack and allows the attacker to eavesdrop on communications, steal sensitive information, and manipulate the data without the knowledge of the parties involved. Therefore, out of the given options, A) botnets is the most accurate answer. The other options are not directly related to this type of attack. B) cyber-cache refers to the temporary storage of web data, C) cyber crawler is a computer program used to search, index, and analyze web pages, and D) cybercrime is a general term that encompasses various types of criminal activities committed using computers or the internet.
