Hi ,
First, I have nothing to sell, no advise to formulate.
As I have not found any thread related to safety, this is the loion.
First of short history:
MT4 serious trader considering that about 2010
Have started trading at the past with a VPS near the information centre to avoid latency, then have canceled it. Too much virtualization in the ceremony as CPU was freezing as a result of heavy calculations.
Subsequently went on a Data centre tier/4 dedied server procured with Norton registered Guru version (End point security ).
Yes, ones have to be serious to exchange with appropriate tools to go live. That Raid dedied server was only functioning for trading, supposed to be fully protected with Symantec Norton End stage security. And do you think what? Following 3 years of support, (constant update and observation ) the server was hacked and all documents have been stolen, EAs, Indics...
So from there trading was terminated leaving me time to dig on security files.
About Meta Trader software: MT website says that it uses an AES encription code visit https://www.metatrader5.com/en/termi...anced/security and watch https://www.metatrader5.com/en/termi..._authorization for ref watch http://www.ipcores.com/aes_ip_core.h...BoCVHoQAvD_BwE so the problem doesn't come from MT but in the dedied server used for trading.
Symantec did a POA ( procedure of activity ) to identify the hacker. Unfortunately Symantec software wasnt able to protect the server against a stealth robbery. ( Ask yourself if you may utilize Symantec Norton on your next computer). From this point I have decided to briefly quit trading and dig in the hacking world to have more infos about trading server security. Time to learn how to get better tools to exchange secure later on.
So, about you today, what do you do to protect yourself?
Perhaps you have heard of this page?

I do not state that its NSA who did that, but if you can do it, someone else could do it as well.

In last January of 2018, at the Las Vegas CES a firm has revealed its own Quantum computer 50 Qubits https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/...ntum-supremacy. With 100 Qubits (probably developed at the end of 2018 or early 2019) the crypto RSA could be hacked. Watch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm bringning in danger all exchanges (Even credit, debit cards, Crypto curr. Etc ) See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm .Headquarters at RSA are actively working on that.

Magic what is going to be the future of trading. Probably that the MT4 vs MT5 war will not arrive as new programming languages will probably soon come revolutionizing the trading environment.
By that time (I should say buy that time) in case you have a 100% secure server environment, please share your own lights.
Trade secure, remain secured and assess your backs.
Happy trading
Sincerely
