Optical Hacking

Or one of those "anti-glare screens".
/me looks behind him to see if anyone has constructed an elaborate machine while he was playing "Yet More Lemmings"...

/*ways to get around this*/
1. put aluminium foil over your windows in the room your computer is in
2.if your closet is big enough, put the computer in your closet
3. don't hack or have data you don't want seen being present on the screen while it is dark
4 . i don't know, it's your turn

I've seen "privacy screens" (look like anti-glare screens) that let you see the screen only if your right in front of it sold in office supplies stores... I guess that could help...

Ammo

Don't put your computer in a room with reflective walls and a big window overlooking a lot of possible sites of espionage.

My friends, I give you the absolute latest in security technologies...

Don't cha just love word play?

Dunno... seems to me that Seeker_319, jethrow, ammo and Terr are pretty close. But how about a displaced (outdated) unit aimed at the window with refresh rate, contrast, brightness font and text size set the same as the operational unit, but displaying a never-ending loop of random alphas and numerics. Kind of like you flood a window with background verbal (voice vibrations) noise to keep big ears from reading the minute glass vibrations caused by actual conversations within the room. Debwalin is most correct, however; "nobody" is gonna do anything to protect themselves from this "possible" security leak than they already do in their existing corporate security efforts against known threats. Nada, head-in-the-sand, usually. :D

OK people, let's start buying those VR (Virtual REality) scope...
