Some ISPs inject their own ads on non-encrypted pages. It was a prevalent practice in Russia as early as 2007-2010. Not sure if it's true for other countries and modern times, but the technical point is still valid: by using HTTPS, this kind of attack on your personal blog is eliminated.


It's not an attack on your blog, but the client accessing it.


If your goal is to pass a certain message publicly, then the injection is an attack to your goal.

These injections often completely broke functionality of any even slightly non-standard blog engines, as they were not tested by the designers of the injectors.


No, it's still an attack on the client. The content on your server does not change. "Goal" seems very subjective here.

True.
