“How to take over the computer of any Java (or Clojure or Scala) developer

When can this happen? If you ever use a public wifi network in a coffee shop, or are on a wifi network that someone took over you can be man-in-the-middled. Your ISP can man-in-the-middle you at will, and some do so in order to serve you ads. Or, perhaps you are subject to a man-in-the-middle attack from a state actor.”
