Shoulder Surfing

Shoulder Surfing refers to the practice of spying on a person’s computer or device screen, ATM use, or any electronic device to obtain confidential information, such as passwords or PIN codes. It’s a simple yet effective form of information theft that can be mitigated by being aware of one’s surroundings, using privacy screens, and shielding keypad entries.
