Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations

A user waiting for a flight at an airport signs in to the airline website over public Wi‑Fi, disregards a security warning, and buys an upgraded seat. After the flight lands, the user discovers unauthorized credit-card charges. Which of the following attacks most likely occurred?

Explanation

An on-path attack places an attacker between a user and the intended website, allowing the attacker to intercept or manipulate communications. Public Wi‑Fi and a disregarded security warning can enable interception of login or payment-card information, leading to unauthorized charges.
