Hmm, let's see... Deprecated TLS version, you say? I bet the server is still using the ancient 'Handshake of the Dinosaurs' protocol.

A MITM attack against a secure website? That's like trying to sneak past a bouncer at a VIP club while wearing a neon sign that says 'I'm up to no good!'

But what about option C? If the server is using a deprecated version of TLS, wouldn't that also make it vulnerable to MITM attacks?
