#7 Man In the Middle Attacks
If the victim and the hacker are on the same network i.e. LAN , Wan. Then this hack can be carried out.

On the other hand, victim may be sending encrypted data that can be in form of hashes like Md5 hash, then the hacker has to decrypt the data to get the information.
#8 Email ID Hacking
