L'erba del vicino: quando l'attacco MITM è del governo

China-based Internet users are in danger of getting their iCloud and Windows Live accounts hijacked and all the information in them slurped up by the Chinese authorities, web censorship watchdog Great Fire reported on Monday.

Users who try to access iCloud.com or Login.live.com from an IP address associated with mainland China are automatically redirected to spoofed login pages that look exactly like the legitimate ones, the watchdog claims. They also offered proof in the form of traceroutes, a connection log, wirecaptures, and the self-signed certificate used in the MITM attack.

The attack coincides with the China-wide release of the newest iPhone, and the redirection is effected at the Great Firewall level.
