1,960 Plaintext Credentials Tied to 101 Stealer Log

Researchers at HEROIC traced 1,960 records to a stealer log posted on Telegram on March 6, 2023. The file, catalogued as 101 uploaded by a Telegram User, contains email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the login URLs associated with each stolen credential pair.

Why the 101 Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Analysts note that every record is a ready-made login. Because the passwords are stored in plaintext and matched with the specific URL each user targeted, attackers can move from download to account takeover attempt in a single step.

What Was Exposed in the 101 Stealer Log

• 1,960 email address entries
• Plaintext passwords copied directly from browsers
• Login URLs showing which services each credential unlocks
• Session data from infected endpoints

Why This Matters

Investigators warn that stealer log files like 101 fuel a predictable chain of atacks. Credential stuffing bots feed the pairs into login endpoints across banking, email, retail, and workplace SaaS platforms. Successful hits turn into account takeover, fraudulent purchases, wire transfers, and identity theft long before victims see any alert.

How a Stealer Log Like the 101 File Works

Researchers consistently link files of this type to infostealer families such as RedLine, Raccoon, and Vidar. The malware installs through cracked software, phishing emails, or malicious ads, then scrapes saved browser credentials, cookies, and autofill data. Operators publish the resulting logs on Telegram and dark web forums, where smaller bundles like 101 are frequently merged into larger combolists.
