Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Explanation
When some one listens to a conversation that they are not part of, it is eavesdropping. Formally we can say that the intentional interception of someone else's data (such as email, login-id, password, credit card info etc.) as it passes through a user's computer to server or vice-versa is called eavesdropping. Data may be stolen through eavesdropping.
