They may not grab the most headlines, but injection attacks are the most common threats targeting organizational networks, according to IBM MSS data.
The facts are clear. According to IBM X-Force analysis of IBM Managed Security Services (MSS) data, injection attacks are the most frequently employed mechanism of attack against organizational networks. In fact, for the period assessed (January 2016 through June 2017), injection attacks made up nearly half — 47 percent — of all attacks. The most common types were operating system command injection (OS CMDi) and SQL injection (SQLi). Injection attacks versus all attacks. Figure 1: Injection attacks versus all attacks (Source: IBM Managed Security Services data).
Attackers take advantage of injection vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications to penetrate critical web servers and access back-end databases. From using malicious webshells to planting cryptocurrency mining tools or malicious PHP scripts, there are many ways in which cybercriminals can use injection attacks to reach their end goal.

Your first mistake was using C++.
Your second mistake was not using C.
Your third mistake was using C\C++.
Your forth mistake was not using Go.
If you agree with this you're already using Go. If you think something is wrong here then pointer asthmatics and GOTO statements aren't for you. Please use Go.
Either way, please use Go.
Yours,
Users and programmers alike.
