Believe it…there are many types of cyberattacks where https could have prevented or mitigated the attack, primarily those involving Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks. Real-world example: The Firesheep Attack
Firesheep was a browser extension that allowed attackers to hijack user sessions on websites that did not enforce https for all communications.
After the Firesheep attack, many websites transitioned to enforcing Https for all traffic (e.g., Facebook and Twitter switched to https by default). This incident is a classic example of how Https could have prevented a significant cyberattack.
