Shoulder Surfing

Shoulder surfing is a type of social engineering attack where an attacker directly observes someone entering sensitive information, such as passwords, PINs, or credit card details. This observation can happen in public places like ATMs, coffee shops, or even within an office environment. The attacker uses direct line of sight to steal the information without needing any technical tools or sophisticated hacking methods.
