    Security problem of code

    o) Does C++ have any security problems ?
    o) We'd like to put up our special tennis game online after we finish
    hard-coding and enforcing compiling error reduction.
    o) We are afraid the users would hack in our servers and take away our
    top secrets, we will lose everything, because we use servers to store
    them. They are baaaad :-(

      All security problems stems from your own programming errors,
      not the langauge.

          That's a security-problem with your servers and have nothing to do with
          C++, however, to be frank I doubt that you have any "top secrets" that
          anyone would want to steal. If someone hacked your server it would
          probably be to use it as a zombie or to send SPAM.

              You are concerned that unknown people out there will break in and steal your
              secrets, but you are soliciting advice from other unknown people as to what
              to do about it.

              What's wrong with this picture?

                  Is it possible that he's not read Ken Thompson's "Reflection s on
                  Trusting Trust"? I would have thought that that would be one of
                  the first things one would read if one is concerned with
                  security.
