Dell Computer, the world's biggest PC maker, joined with others in providing $30 million to Sanctum, the Internet security software maker said on Monday, stressing growing investor interest in products for stopping "application-level" hackers. A growing threat to corporate and government Web sites, application-level hackers exploit flaws in site software to use sites as vehicles for getting into back-office operations to steal data, change prices and disrupt transactions. Application-level hackers also exploit Web site software to disable sites.
