No Tech Hacking - John Long's encounter with Apple fanboy soldier

Shoulder Surfing Technique

In a cafe was a US soldier surfing the net and having a good time with music blasting through his earphone. With a Macbook, Apple earphone and Apple magazine sitting around the corner, it was obvious this soldier is an Apple fanboy.
This soldier is not much aware of his environment because of his sitting position. He was actually sitting in such a way that he is backing the rest of the people in the cafe and coupled with loud music playing through his earphone, its safe to conclude that the soldier is less conscious of his surroundings. As a result, people around can easily have a clear view of his screen.
John Long who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time with his camera always with him took a few shots of the soldier guy while having a clear view of his screen. 

Discoveries

The Military man was actually working on his Mac because some of the captured screenshots showed that he was Logging into Administrative console of EBA logic web Server.

And also some of the shots showed his keystrokes as he was logging into the server and therefore his login credentials was compromised.

Lessons learnt

This rule - “Avoid public display of information” must be maintained at all times especially when using PC in public places.

Also it is important to be aware of one’s environment at all times especially when working with computers. Avoid such behaviours that make you loose too much concentration about your environment. Such behaviours like playing loud music through earphone while working PC’s must be discouraged at all times.
