Hello guys, I want to warn all of you that there is a hack out there called "Anticapitalist" that when it detects operations in metatrader it gets in it to wipe out the account.

My account of 65.000 EUR in Pepperstone was wiped out for this hack. I claimed to Pepperstone but they said to me that it is my responsability for not having any antivirus software. PLEASE, BE CAREFULL WITH THIS HACK.

What do you mean your account was wiped out ? your funds have been withdrawn without your authorisation ?
Often , the best trade is no trade at all

It is not about withdrawal , it is about "hack", because I tried to open demo accounts in other brokers and happend the same.
I downloaded EA´s from a Russian forums and I should have gotten a virus.

Be carefull with Russian Forum, and their EA´s, you could lose all your money.

Sounds like a forced margin call (opened many trades [operations]). Also sounds to me like it's not a virus but ran an untested (or tested on live account) issue. ("I downloaded EA´s from a Russian forums")

If you download and use an EA and don't test it on demo account first, it's your own stupidity.

I created a similar EA by accident once, had close bracket in wrong place and my open order was within a for loop, opened a trade on every tick... sounds like the same thing but released on purpose.

DON'T RUN UNKNOWN AND/OR UNTESTED EA'S ON LIVE ACCOUNTS.
For every loss there should be at least an equal and opposite profit.

Thanks for your explanation . That makes sense to me . EA causes problems , there is nothing to do with mt4 platform or virus.

If its an EA then it could destroy everything by opening big lots and close them at a loss.

Clever hack.

Hi ram108, I have not any screenshots, just hack detect platforms and get into and start to operate very fast opening/closing til you loose your money, and the worse you can see and you can´t stop it, I mean, you are seeing how your money is beeing wiped out
The name of hack is "anticapitalist", .. I heard out there that affect at any platform, ninjatrader for example.

I suppose hack came into of one of them.. Careful if you don´t want to loose your money like I suffered.

I'm sitting here with a facepalm, literally. 🙄

Why didn't You shutdown your device that "hacked" platform was on ? Just turn off Your PC or Laptop or even VPS Server, your internet connection router, immediatly and thats it.

You just sit and watch trades beeing opened and closed, bleeding out your money ? Why ?

You trolling everyone here or it is something else, but your story doesn't make any sense.

The message is not about hacking someone account.
It is denial of service. So during such attack broker server is not available.
It is up to broker to protect its server (like any other) against these type of attack.

So this is what I've come up with so far:

Norman66 and simonbet (babypips) seem to be the only ones affected.
simonbet refers to a malware in an EA (alrighty then!).
A link from 2016 provided, that is not a hack, but a DOS specific to brokers (ie. Not applicable to the discussion).

I have gone out of my way to search for information on this "anticapitalist" virus, malware, adware, hack... found nothing.
I have attempted to source the EA from around the world, Russia and Mars... I found nothing.

If you have the EA, please zip it to megaupload and provide the link, I would like to prod and probe this thing. If not, then I would have to conclude that this doesn't exist (trolling), or that you downloaded a trash EA and ran it without testing (idiot! - not an insult, I have done many "idiot" things myself, only I know what I did and how stupid I was, I don't blame hackers for my "dumb moments" :-D).
