I would like to ask if there's an example being shown on how mobile hybrid application can request data over https from external server using RESTful web service or someone could guide me along.
Thank you.

Hello,
Hybrid mobile apps are built with a combination of web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Therefore, you can use different approaches depending on the web data service you are consuming. The following resources may be helpful: JavaScript: Learning how to “consume RESTful APIs” javascript REST client
Concerning developing hybrid applications, all the main Cordova API features are implemented as plugins. As to vulnerability matters, there is a Secure HTTP plugin which makes your app no longer vulnerable for such attacks by providing true SSL Pinning.
You can also consider Telerik Backend Services (a mobile backend-as-a-service offering). It is the module of the Telerik Platform that you can consider in order to quickly configure RESTful services to ensure the server logic of your app for data, user management, notifications, business logic and more. Thus you save the efforts required to write, maintain and deploy complex server logic and database under your infrastructure. You can examine your actual scenario covered by the user management in Backend Services in this article.
In this case, you can also refer to the topic on Securing a PhoneGap/Cordova Hybrid Mobile App.
