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.

No, but your code might

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 "Reflections 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.
