Data Interception

Data interception is the act of secretly capturing or accessing information as it's transmitted across networks, such as the internet or phone lines. It involves an unauthorized person or tool intercepting data—like emails, messages, or sensitive files—without the sender or receiver's knowledge. This can happen through hacking, malicious software, or network vulnerabilities. The goal of interception is often to steal information, monitor communication, or gather intelligence. Protecting against data interception involves using encryption, secure connections, and vigilant security practices to ensure that transmitted data remains private and secure.
