Answer 2

Answer:

Shoulder surfing is a social engineering attack method that some cybercriminals employ to learn your password and later get access to your machine.

Explanation:

• Shoulder surfing is a strategy for gathering information that involves glancing over someone's shoulder.
• It is a technique used by unauthorised persons to overlook or peep into someone's else system without permission.
• Shoulder surfing is a technique to gather information in crowded areas because standing next to someone and watching them fill out a form, enter a PIN at an ATM, or pay for anything with a credit card is pretty easy.
• With the help of binoculars or other vision-enhancing gadgets, shoulder surfing can even be done from a long distance.

Hence, gaining access to someone else systems through overlooking is called shoulder surfing.
