Shoulder surfing

Email This Entry

Posted by Sandy

I learned a new phrase today during a presentation by Ottawa-based CryptoCard: shoulder surfing is when someone learns your password by looking over your shoulder.

After listening to their pitch about online security, I'm slightly more paranoid than I was an hour ago. But that might just be the coffee talking.
