Is Mitm possible in HTTPS?
Even if a secure website uses HTTPS exclusively (i.e. with no HTTP service at all), then man-in-the-middle attacks are still possible. In short, failing to implement an HSTS policy on a secure website means attackers can carry out man-in-the-middle attacks without having to obtain a valid TLS certificate.
Can companies track HTTPS?
A lot of people wonder, “Can my ISP track me on HTTPS websites?” And the answer is: Yes. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can still see what you’re up to online even when you’re on HTTPS encrypted sites. HTTPS encrypts the package’s contents. Your carrier can’t see what’s inside the boxes or envelopes.
Can my ISP see my passwords?
Your ISP can know your password any time it’s sent unencrypted over your internet connection. If you don’t want them to know your password, don’t send it unencrypted over the internet: Avoid login pages that use HTTP (always use HTTPS and don’t visit sites with expired or invalid SSL certificates)

How to prevent man in the middle attacks ( MITM )?
Another solution for preventing man in the middle attacks is to use the virtual private network (VPN). It creates additional secure layers when you access the Internet through public Wi-Fi.
What does MITM stand for in security category?
In internet security terminology, MITM is a form of active eavesdropping. The attacker becomes an intermediary between all communications happening between victim systems and the gateway.
