Your friend, a website manager of a traveling agency in Muscat, approached you because he knows you are studying information/cybersecurity at MCBS and wants your opinion on a recent event that occurred in the company they work for. He described what happened by saying that one of his employees who manages client orders received an email with a link to a customer complain. The problem was resolved after logging into the system through his staff; but, the next day, someone else was able to access his staff panel and remove all of his customers' data. Following the initial investigation, it was discovered that the staff computer is opening the login page without using HTTPS, indicating that the connection from his Windows PC to the server was not secure! You suspect an SSL stripping via phasing attack based on the explanation and your early investigation. Please demonstrate (using explanations and graphics) how this attack can be used to steal credentials, as well as provide a mitigation solution. (5 marks)
