Abstract | In MitB is a sophisticated form of attack wherein a Trojan or a bot embedded in the browser steals and tampers with legitimate user data. Online banking websites have all along been a favourite playground for these bots. While most of these sites employ multi-factor authentication, and one-time pads for transactions, even in the presence of a Secure Sockets Layer channel they are still not resilient against these attacks. This paper demonstrates how vulnerable our web accounts are to MitB attack using two significant real life examples - a Gmail account secured using Google's 2-step verification and an online banking transaction. The paper also talks about defending against the attack by identifying and securing user inputs of a system that will be the weakest link in the device or transaction authorization chain. The nature of this attack is such that they happen so silently, the user may not even notice any malicious activity and may simply disregard any unnatural behaviour as an oversight on the part of the user himself or simply a technical difficulty. Hence, what the paper also reiterates is that, as engineers of software systems, security has to be enforced on the end user when required and must not be left as an option for the tech savvy users alone. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
