11,016 Stolen Passwords and Emails Exposed in FREE LOGS Leak

HEROIC analysts came across a stealer log file called FREE LOGS, shared on Telegram and dated back to November 22, 2023. The file exposes 11,016 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the site the login was stolen from.

Why A File Called "FREE LOGS" Is No Joke

The casual name hides a serious problem. Every record in this file is a genuine login harvested from an infected computer, with the password sitting in plain, readable text.

Calling it "free" is the point. Criminals give away smaller batches like this to build reputation in Telegram groups, which only means more people gain access to these stolen logins.

What Was Exposed In The FREE LOGS File

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Website URLs tied to each login

Why This Kind Of Leak Still Puts You At Risk

Even a modest set of credentials fuels credential stuffing, where the same email and password are tried across dozens of other sites automatically.

If a password from this leak was ever resued, that account is now exposed to takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft carried out in the victim's name.

How Stealer Logs Like FREE LOGS Are Made

Infostealer malware gets onto a device through cracked software, a fake download, or a phishing email. Once running, it quietly grabs saved browser passwords, cookies, and autofill data.

The results are packaged into a log file and given a catchy name to attract downloads, then it circulates thru Telegram groups just like the one HEROIC's team monitors.

Check If You Are Affected

The only way to know for sure if you were caught up in the FREE LOGS leak is to check. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records to see if your email or password has surfaced anywhere on the dark web.

If you find a match, change that password immediately and never reuse it again.
