> When those systems aren't well thought out or secure you have security issues. All evidence says that there are no well thought out and secure systems written in C or C++. If there is a way to do it, it has not been publicized yet. |

At the end of the day all computers and systems can be broken. Using C/C++ might open up that up to being more likely when someone isn't thoughtful enough in the implementation. The trade off comes in when you want to risk the higher chance of security problems for the better performance.
This is just my opinion, I believe that we spend way too much time writing in these 'safe' languages at the cost of performance when it often isn't really needed and in the long run just adds to the bloat of our systems. This comes from my belief that if anyone is willing to spend the time and money to break a system they will. So why are we burdening our piggy banks with the same security as our bank vaults?
