The domain mql5.software was a generic phishing site posing as an investment scam related to forex trading and automated bots for MT4/MT5 platforms. It did not impersonate a specific legitimate brand but used the MQL5 name to deceive users into believing it offered expert advisors or trading tools. The site has since been taken offline, but it previously presented an elevated risk of financial fraud or credential theft.
Technical indicators show mql5.software was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and appeared on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy). The domain was registered through Ultahost, Inc on June 05, 2024, and resolved to the IP address 82.41.181.74, located in the United Kingdom. It used Cloudflare nameservers (ignacio.ns.cloudflare.com and ivy.ns.cloudflare.com) and had an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The observed page title was 'MQL5 Forex: Expert Advisors & Automated Trading Bots for MT4/MT5,' and technologies detected included Node.js, Ubuntu, React, Nginx, Next.js, Google Analytics, and Webpack. Gridinsoft assigned it a trust score of 0/100.
Users who interacted with mql5.software should monitor their accounts for unauthorized transactions, particularly if financial or login credentials were entered. Change passwords for any accounts accessed through the site and enable two-factor authentication where available. Report the domain to relevant authorities or platforms, such as the registrar (Ultahost, Inc), Google Safe Browsing, or local cybercrime units. If cryptocurrency was involved, review wallet approvals and consider moving funds to a new wallet to prevent further exposure.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
