Explanation & Hint: There are various types of physical attacks. With piggybacking, unauthorized person tags along with an authorized person to gain entry to a restricted area, usually with the person’s consent. Tailgating is the same but usually occurs without the authorized consent of the person. In badge cloning attacks, specialized software and hardware can perform such attacks. With shoulder surfing, someone obtains information such as personally identifiable information, passwords, and other confidential data by looking over the shoulder of the victim. There are special screen filters for computer displays to prevent someone from seeing the screen at an angle. |
