Shoulder surfing
is using direct observation techniques, such as looking over someone's
shoulder, to get information. Shoulder surfing is an effective way to get
information in crowded places because it's relatively easy to stand next to
someone and watch as they fill out a form, enter a PIN number at an ATM
machine, or use a calling card at a public pay phone. Shoulder surfing can also
be done long distance with the aid of binoculars or other vision-enhancing
devices. To prevent shoulder surfing, experts recommend that you shield
paperwork or your keypad from view by using your body or cupping your hand.
