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

      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.

          HSTS says it must be encrypted but a proxy will create two connections and look at it clear in the middle. On the other hand cert pinning says it must be a specific cert that breaks the site if decryption is used. Apple is big on doing that for a lot of their site and apps.
