DoubleDirect MitM Attacks are targeting users worldwide

Security experts at Zimperium discovered a new MITM attack technique dubbed DoubleDirect that is targeting iOS, Android and Mac users worldwide. The DoubleDirect MitM attack allows attackers to hijack the victims traffic of major websites such as Facebook, Google and Twitter to a device controlled by the attacker. The attack exploits the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) redirect packets in order to change the routing tables of a host used by routers to provide information on the best path to the destination. Windows and Linux users are immune to the DoubleDirect attack because most of GNU/Linux and Windows desktop operating systems do not accept ICMP redirect packets that is exploited by attackers.”]
