10k amazon target uploaded by a Telegram User Dark Intel: 8,854 Leaked

In January 2023, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled "10k amazon target uploaded by a Telegram User" shared on a Telegram channel. The file contained 8,854 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with URLs identifying where each credential pair originated. The listing's own name indicates it was compiled specifically around Amazon account credentials, and because the passwords are stored in plaintext, they can be used immediately by anyone who downloads the file.

Why This Amazon-Targeted Combolist Is Dangerous

A combolist built around a specific target like Amazon gives attackers a shortcut: instead of testing random credentials against many sites, they can focus all 8,854 email and password pairs directly at Amazon login pages and any connected payment or delivery information tied to those accounts. Because the passwords are plaintext, no cracking is needed before an attacker starts trying them.

What Was Exposed in This Amazon-Targeted Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linking each credential pair to its source site

Why This Matters Beyond Amazon Accounts

Even though this file appears aimed at Amazon accounts, the risk doesn't stop there. Anyone who reused one of these passwords on other sites, email accounts, or banking logins is exposed to credential stuffing across those services too. If an attacker gets into an Amazon account, they may also find saved payment methods, order history, and addresses, which can be used for financial fraud or identity theft.

How Combolist Leaks Like This One Happen

A combolist is a compiled file of email or username and password pairs, often gathered from earlier breaches, leaks, or stealer logs and organized around a theme, in this case apparently Amazon accounts. Lists like this circulate on Telegram channels and dark web forums, where they are shared or sold cheaply, making them accessible to attackers with minimal technical skill.
