Using Hillary's server to Internet-Enable the thing obviously posted for the world to see his credit card, expiration date and three digit code as well as his SS#, home address and home safe combo. Her wiping it clean with a soft cloth still managed to leave a painful rash.

Man-in-the-middle is an attack where the attacker secretly relays and possibly alters the communication between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other.

Speaking as an Electronic Engineer (ret'd.)...
What language is this article in?

And no, despite what the Mrs. says, "ret'd" (↑) does not mean "retarded".

I've survived this long without having a refrigerator that can text me when I'm low on milk. I think I'll let the hackers work on someone else's fridge.

Open the freezer, Hal.
I'm sorry, I can't do that.
