Even though MitM attacks and refactoring Spark may seem unrelated, addressing both areas can significantly enhance the robustness, efficiency, and security of your software delivery pipeline. Man-in-the-Middle Basics Link to heading MitM attacks target the communication between two parties, with the attacker covertly intercepting, possibly altering, and relaying messages between them.
