-&gt;Picture this scenario as an example: You are sitting in the airport waiting room, patiently waiting for the boarding you begin. While scrolling through Zalando, you find a pair of sneakers that catch your attention and are ready to make a purchase. You sign in and fill out the delivery and payment information as usual. However, little do you know that a hacker has secretly positioned themselves between you and the online store, sneakily taking notes of the data only Zalando was meant to receive. Simply as that, not only has the man-in-the-middle learned about your login credentials, but also your address and credit card information.<p>Wouldn&#x27;t a connection being served over SSL mitigate this scenario? I can&#x27;t imagine any online store not being served over SSL in 2022
