  1. The term #maninthemiddleattack has recently fallen out of favour, after all it could very well not be a man that's listening in. A popular replacement seems to be #machineinthemiddleattack. I think this is a huge missed opportunity for some fun with words. I propose to you:
    1. Malfeasant in the middle
    2. Mischief in the middle
    2. Malcontent in the middle

    Do you have any other fun ones?

    Edit: heres another one: miscreant in the middle.

  2. Heute haben Studierende der #Kulturanthropologie @KAEEGoetheUni erfolgreich ihre IT Aufmerksamkeit bewiesen: sie haben bei `git push` gemerkt, dass der #Kryptographie Schlüssel des #gitlab Servers nicht stimmte - #ManInTheMiddleAttack? Ein Griff zum #Telefon und den Serveradmin #interview(t). Der war glücklich über die Nachfrage und meinte: die Lernen fürs Leben, vielleicht lernen sie ja #Linux lieben, bei den ganzen Erfahrungen mit #Microsoft. #DigitalisierungBeforschen.

  3. Dear Activists,

    Please do not use #eventBrite.

    It is 'reverse-proxied' by an #Amazon service called #CloudFront*. Reverse-proxy means it unencrypts all traffic to "ensure quality of service". Back when encryption of sites was a basic priority this would be called #spyware, or a #ManInTheMiddleAttack.

    Consider #DFCA to block the dot-'cons' and their spyware.

    * not to be confused with #CloudFlare, which does the same and is equally bad.
