      This attack could have been prevent post-2013, when the @IETF considered including mandatory encryption as part of the new HTTP/2.0 standard. But they blocked it despite explicit warnings that without that protection, users would soon face exactly the attacks we see today.https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/972110541408952320 …

      Huge: @Citizenlab catches ISPs invisibly redirecting download requests for popular programs, injecting them with government spyware. Unencrypted web traffic is now provably a critical, in-the-wild vulnerability. 20-30% of top internet sites affected. https://citizenlab.ca/2018/03/bad-traffic-sandvines-packetlogic-devices-deploy-government-spyware-turkey-syria/ …

      I think it's useful to point out that these attacks have been going on for many years. There's been documentation of even more advanced network injection appliances being offered on the market since at least 2010 or earlier, e.g. FinFly ISP or HackingTeam's Infection Proxy.

      Good point, but this is the still first time (to Citizenlab's knowledge) that anyone has actually caught pcaps of this technique being applied in the wild. It's the difference between rational suspicion of abuse, and established fact of that abuse.

          That's for sure. @citizenlab contribution of empirical evidence over the years has been invaluable and made otherwise abstract discussions very concrete.

          My point was simply that users have unfortunately been facing these attacks for long before. Ubiquity of encryption is an urgent remediation, rather than a prevention at this point.
