Intercepting information over an unsecured HTTP connection can be relatively easy for attackers, especially if the user is on a public or unsecured Wi-Fi network. Here’s how it might work and the factors that contribute to the risk:

1. **Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks:**

Attackers can use a method called a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack to intercept data between your device and the website. On unsecured Wi-Fi networks (e.g., public Wi-Fi at a coffee shop), attackers can position themselves between your device and the server to capture sensitive information like passwords or personal details.

2. **Wi-Fi Eavesdropping:**

Tools like packet sniffers (e.g., Wireshark) can be used by attackers to monitor and capture data packets transmitted over unsecured connections. If you're connected to a Wi-Fi network without proper encryption, it is relatively easy for someone nearby to capture the data you are sending over HTTP.

3. **Network Vulnerabilities:**

If you're using an HTTP site on a public network, an attacker on the same network can intercept or modify the traffic between your device and the site. They could potentially steal information or inject malicious content without you realizing it.

### Difficulty of Interception:

- **Public or Shared Networks:** On public Wi-Fi, the risk is high. Tools to intercept unsecured traffic are widely available and easy to use, making it fairly simple for attackers to collect data.

- **Private or Secured Networks:** If you’re on a private, encrypted network (like a home network with WPA2 encryption), the risk is lower, but it's still not impossible if someone has access to the network.

### Mitigation:

- **Use HTTPS Sites:** Always check for the padlock icon or ensure the site uses HTTPS before submitting sensitive information.

- **VPN:** Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can add a layer of encryption, even on unsecured sites.

- **Avoid Public Wi-Fi:** If you're submitting sensitive data, avoid doing so over unsecured, public networks without using a VPN.

In summary, intercepting data over an HTTP connection is not technically difficult for attackers, particularly in environments with shared or public Wi-Fi. Therefore, it’s best to avoid submitting sensitive information over non-secure sites.
