I have been trading for years.
I have never had a single issue with any kind of hacking software for mt4.
The only issue you might have is between chair and keyboard.
Yes you are the only issue.

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.
I happened to something very similar to you per less amount of money, it is very complex as this virus works, is devastating.

Guys,
as i said the problem is between the chair and keyboard.
There is no such virus for MT4,
even if there were such virus you should not have ran it on your trading server.

How can we prevent it from happening in the future?

You say that because it has not happened, but the person in front of the computer how can you compete against a hack? It is easy to say what to do but when you find yourself directly affected is something else.

If you use antivirus and firewall
and common sense so you dont open every fucking attachment you have seen
then you are safe.

Hello guys, hack continue devastating accounts. A friend of mine, who was managing a PAMM account, lost 400k in a very short time. have ready your firewall, antivirus, pls
It's really simple to prove if it was "hacking" (which is probably wasn't), create a fully verified stats page here on myfxbook and make it public so we can see what is going on.
If you can't do that, then you're probably lying and just a really bad trader.
If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.

Hi vontorgr, the thing is that I didn´t know about it. Ok, that I only want is to advise to all investors here, that´s all.
I hope I have helped with my notice.

Is this true? Can anyone else verify that it is true?

EternalRocks is not currently weaponized and in it's current state only propagates. (and of the ones released, you have inadvertently chosen to name the weakest of the batch).
You are trying to link Shadow Brokers (hacking group) to your issue (they target large financial institutions like banks) with a tool released by them (stolen from NSA) which has no payload, least of which targets MT platforms.
Keep your system updated, all known exploits have been patched since March. My current research shows no current MT4 or MT5 exploits "that close trades" other than EA's specifically programmed to do so (don't buy and use untested EA's).
I'm really trying to believe and validate your claims, but every time your credibility suffers.
To everyone else, keep your system updated and if you are on older operating systems like 2000, XP, or Vista consider updating to the latest available release.

For every loss there should be at least an equal and opposite profit.

EternalRock is a worm that infects windows
It does not mess up with your trading.
If you are suspicious to be infected
simply change your MT4 password

Only idiot can execute unknown program or EA on trading computer.
Updating system would not help to cure human stupidity :)

Your statement has the same value as you were kidnapped by UFO.
Any proofs?
