Shoulder surfing can be performed remotely by the hacker
True
False
Wikipedia "This attack can be performed either from a closer range by directly looking over the victim's shoulder or from a longer range by using a pair of binoculars. To implement this technique attackers do not require any technical skills, keen observation of victims surroundings and the typing pattern is sufficient." See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouldersurfing(computer_security). EDIT: Suggest that this question be revised as "remotely" suggests that the hacker Is not within visual range of the target's keyboard. Edit: Agreed with previous statement, this question in NO way suggests that this is being performed via binoculars, or from a building across another office... It stipulates that this is being performed remotely by a hacker. Either the answer should be updated to reflect that this is indeed FALSE, or the entire question needs to be re-worded. As it stands right now, this is a false question entirely. -- EDIT: Changed to 'False'. You cannot be genuinely "remote" and "looking over someone's shoulder". Throughout the rest of this curriculum, 'remote' has meant "over a network" as opposed to "in the same room". ** Excuse me, the word remotely does not exclude the use of binoculars, or smartphones with an attached lens. I would recommend that either the answer be changed to True, the question reworded, or the question be struck altogether. **
What if the threat actor has compromised a security camera system and is using that to preform shoulder surfing? That would be remote.
