Mail in the middle – a tool to automate spear phishing campaigns
The idea is simple; take advantage of the typos that people make when they enter email addresses. If we positioned ourselves in between the sender of an email (be it a person or a system) and the legitimate recipient, we may be able to capture plenty of information about the business, including personally identifiable information, email verification processes, etc. This scenario is effectively a Person-in-the-Middle (PiTM), but for email communications.
