Buffer Overflow Attack

 We all know that arrays have specified size, but what would happen if we add more data to an array, more than it can contain, it becomes a security vulnerability which hackers can make use of to implement a Buffer Overflow Attack, C and C++ languages are the most susceptible ones for this type of attack, I can understand this cause maybe because these languages are old, but I wonder that if we have enough information about these type of vulnerabilities then why don't we make some improvements in these languages. Well I will do some more research in this context afterwards, but as I had read in a documentation that these languages because they rely on user for memory allocation, they are more vulnerable than other programming languages. Well that's it for today
