Why use HTTPS?
Although only very few online portals process highly sensitive content, an unprotected website can still pose a threat to site visitors. For example, cybercriminals use unencrypted connections to corrupt connections and distribute malware on modified websites. Man-in-the-middle attacks (MITM) are used for this purpose, in which attackers hijack the communication between the user client and the web server of the respective website and take control of the data traffic.
Such MITM attacks often form the starting point for more extensive attacks on the systems of site visitors and the underlying network. In combination with other attack vectors such as spear phishing, it is also possible to infiltrate companies, government agencies and other organizations. To counter this danger, all websites and services on the network should be consistently encrypted with HTTPS.
