One way could be to check the code of the program.
But of course this might not be possible... Not everyone knows a programming language. And even if you did, you might not know the programming language they used.

Another way is to download a program that monitors your incoming connections and outgoing connections from your computer/android/iphone.

When someone or something connects to your device, the program should alert you. Or when the computer makes a connection to a website/device.

What steps can you take to secure your private information?.
pogonyaev

Answer:

Below:

Explanation:

1. Practice mail security. Use a public mailbox rather than your home mailbox to send bill payments and other mail containing sensitive information. Pick your mail up promptly and ask the post office to hold it while you’re away.

2. Guard your Social Security number. Don’t carry your Social Security card, military ID, Medicare, or other cards that have your Social Security number on them unless you are going somewhere where you will need them. Only provide your Social Security number when there is a legitimate need to do so.

3. Lock and shred. Keep your billing and banking statements and other personal records locked up and shred them when no longer needed.

4. Stop prescreened credit and insurance mailings. Call toll-free 1-888-567-8688 to get off mailing lists for credit and insurance offers. Your Social Security number will be required. This keeps thieves from intercepting and accepting the offers in your name and doesn’t affect your eligibility for credit or insurance.

5. Keep private information to yourself. Never respond to phone calls or emails asking to confirm your Social Security number or account numbers. Don’t leave PIN numbers, passwords or other personal information around for others to see.

6. Be safe online. Use anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a firewall on your computer and keep them updated. When you provide financial or other sensitive information online, the address should change from “http” to “https” or “shttp.” A symbol such as a lock that closes may also indicate that the transmission is secure.

7. Look at your bills and bank statements promptly. If you find any charges or debits that you never made, contact the bank or company immediately.

Hope it helps.......

Write a repetition statement that outputs the numbers 45 , 51 , . . . , 165 . That is, all of the multiples of 6 in increasing o
Bingel [31]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

   int i = 45;

   for ( i = 45; i <=165; i = i + 6)

       cout << i << endl;

}

Explanation:

I corrected your code and highlighted the mistakes. Even though you wrote the correct algorithm, your code did not compile because of the typos you made.

Remember, C++ is a case-sensitive language. That means, "For" is not same as "for".

Generally, variables and keywords are written in lower case. Of course, there are exceptions, such as constant variables are all written in uppercase letter and class names start with an uppercase letter.
