A barely perceptible keystroke delay was the smoking gun that led to the uncovering of a malign imposter.

    You’re sure they aren’t decrypting your traffic? Check the root cert of any site and see if it’s their own root.

      Yep, they’re not decrypting HTTPS, I’ve triple checked. But we do have an MDM forced proxy service that does check any non-encrypted traffic…

        Only if the site they’re visiting isn’t using HSTS, but it’s possible

          I don’t think this is correct. HSTS only prevents downgrading.
