You are hitting the hammer where there is no nail! In this instance, the Dell WEBSITE was hacked which are (99% of the time) written in high-level programming languages like php, python or Java. No sane business uses C/C++ to develop a website. C/C++ is used for INTERNAL SYSTEM PROGRAMMING and those systems are already linux based and almost impossible to hack (Even in the rare instance that they DO get hacked, C/C++ has nothing to do with it).

- dsmithatx 11y agoI work with a team in India. I can assure you the Dell tech reps log into Dell's system and are not hacking via the website. This is an inside job and there are no simple ways around it. Cost benefit analysis shows Dell they can allow you to get ripped off. They are still are selling computers and saving tons of money offshoring. They have no reason to correct this problem. Glad I build my own PC's at home.
