MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1557 Adversary-in-the-Middle Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to position themselves between two or more networked devices using an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) technique to support follow-on behaviors such as [Network Sniffing](https://attack.
Why these techniques?

The vulnerability exposes unencrypted DDNS communications, enabling adversaries to perform man-in-the-middle attacks to intercept data.
