Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attack: A form of eavesdropping where communication between two users is monitored and modified by an unauthorized party. Typically, the attacker will intercept the traffic between the two targets, making them believe they are talking directly to each other over a private connection when, in fact, the entire conversation is being controlled by the attacker.
