Live North Finance Account Hacked B4 I Even Could Login

Hi

I wanted to let people know right now that your security may not be safe.

I have not been able to use metatrader and have been trying to clean my computer all day so the platform works on my laptop. Currently, if I open the platform with a chart open, properties box pops up and will not close.

Finally, this afternoon, I managed to manaully close each of the 4 charts that were open, by lining up my cursor with the "File" menu and closing one chart at a time, followed by a "CTL, ALT, DEL" to end the program.

I excitedly changed the server settings and login name/ password, only to find a trade had already been instigated on the AUD/USD before I'd even worked out how to use the platform for live trading.

For the first time in my experience, I have had my account hacked - first live MT4 account, before I could even log in, and someone instigated a trade on the AUD/USD - a pair I've never looked in to.

To top it off the broker told me at first that they've made it impossible for anyone to access the system.

Ever felt you just don't know who to trust anymore?

Really shook me up, this.

To make matters worse, it appears to be a very dumb trade as well.

This is a distressing thing and I ask for advice/support.
