It is almost impossible for an individual to prevent MITM attack. It should be the responsibility of the website owner to prevent it.

As for the technical article, you did not describe really important steps for website operators:

with secure mechanisms

which ones? πŸ™‚

multi-factor authentication

It won't help against MITM attack πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ It secures accounts, so it is not possible to hack them so easy, but if there is the man in the middle, then he'll get all your authorization steps

you never ask about login data or any other data through emails

Phishing is not MITM

always ensure that your website is free of security threats by regular auditing and testing it

too broad meaning... what do you mean by auditing and testing? Which tools should be used?

I would expect more technical hints in your article πŸ˜‰ Check out this article to learn how website owners can prevent MITM attacks.
