Your Name.com FX Account Empty Incident! Is MT4/MT5 Dangerous? Is PHP the Cause? Stop VPS? Huge Mistakes Flying Around on SNS

?This article was posted on October 24, 2026 ⇒Latest related articles?

Suddenly, if money disappears from your FX account, what would you do?

In October 2026, there was unauthorized access to GMO Internet's "Onamae.com Desktop Cloud." Up to 26,739 servers could have been affected. Trading tools such as MT4/MT5 and login information for accounts stored on servers may have been obtained, and reports of unauthorized operations have actually emerged.



Understandably, this is worrying, but on social media there are also discussions arising around this incident.

  • Was it hacked due to a PHP vulnerability?
  • Is MT4 dangerous, so should you stop using it?
  • Is using VPS for automated trading itself dangerous?
  • Was the security measure by VPS users inadequate?

Is that really the case? It is necessary to distinguish confirmed facts from speculation and misconceptions.

? PHP caused it? MT4 is dangerous? Is that story true?

First, a VPS is like a computer you rent on the Internet. It runs 24 hours, so you can connect anytime from anywhere, and Expert Advisors (EAs) can continue to trade automatically.

Key points to note about this incident are the following.

① The claim that a PHP vulnerability caused it

As of October 23, 2026, GMO's official announcement states that the intrusion route and原因 are under investigation. It has not been confirmed that a PHP vulnerability was the cause. Just because another vulnerability was discussed at the same time does not mean there is a connection.

② The claim that MT4/MT5 themselves are dangerous

What is questioned this time is the possibility that account information stored in the VPS was obtained. There has been no announcement that MT4 or MT5 themselves caused the issue. It would be like judging all software used on a stolen computer as dangerous simply because the computer was stolen.

③ The claim that traders using VPS have insufficient security measures

To run EA 24 hours, it is common to start MT4/MT5 and keep the account logged in. If you log in manually each time, you lose the convenience of automated trading. It is unfair to place the entire responsibility on individual users if the service provider's environment is breached.

If you are using Onamae.com's VPS, you need to take measures now, but if you trade on MT4/MT5 on your home computer, you do not need to be overly worried.

? Is VPS dangerous? Is it safe on a home computer?

VPS is a service used worldwide. You cannot conclude that VPS in general is dangerous based on this incident alone. It is a globally used technology, and security measures and management structures vary by provider.

However, since it exists on the Internet and anyone can attempt to connect, if the server side is breached, information stored there may be at risk.

So, should you run EA on your home computer?

Running your home computer 24 hours costs electricity. If the rate is about 30 yen/kWh, a laptop would cost about 1,000 yen per month and a desktop about 2,000 yen. It varies greatly by model, but with a power-saving model, even keeping it on for a month can be only a few hundred yen.

VPS is convenient, but using your home computer to run it 24 hours a day is one viable option.

? Do not take SNS 'danger' at face value; trade safely with accurate information

This unauthorized access is a serious issue, but at this stage it does not confirm that PHP, MT4/MT5, or VPS in general are dangerous.

Feeling anxious is natural. However, on social media, facts and speculation mix, and some information unnecessarily inflates fear. It is important to scrutinize the information and check official statements from the providers.

Since risks always exist, using MT4/MT5 one-time passwords, setting a passkey for accounts, and changing passwords regularly will be necessary.

Also, basic reminder: FX accounts are not bank deposits, so not keeping excessive funds is also a part of risk management.

Protect the funds that are vital to traders and use the money for trades that generate profits.
