What word is used for a person who listens at keyholes to hear what others are saying?

The most common word for a person who listens at keyholes is eavesdropper.

Other words that could be used, though they might not be as common, include:

* Peeping Tom (though this term usually refers to someone who peeks into windows, it could be applied in this context)

* Snooper

* Listener (in a negative context)

* Pryer

It's important to note that eavesdropping is generally considered an unethical and intrusive behavior.
