Shoulder surfing is the practice of obtaining sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) by visually eavesdropping on someone else's actions or conversations. In this scenario, the person is standing close enough to see or hear the credit card number. Pharming is a type of online scam where a website is hijacked to redirect users to a different malicious website. Pretexting is a type of social engineering attack where an attacker pretends to be someone else in order to obtain sensitive information. Skimming involves using a device to steal credit card information from the magnetic strip.
