1,194,896 Plaintext Passwords Dumped in HolyCloud Leak

In June 2026, HEROIC uncovered a massive stealer log collection called "HolyCloud Private 152" circulating on Telegram. With 1,194,896 compromised records containing plaintext passwords, this is one of the larger credential dumps to surface recently, putting well over a million users at direct risk of unauthorized account access.

Plaintext Passwords: An Open Invitation to Attackers

The passwords in HolyCloud Private 152 are stored without any encryption or hashing. This means anyone who downloads the file can read every credential instantly. There is no decryption step, no brute-force effort required. At this scale—1,194,896 records—the potential for widespread account compromise is staggering, and automated attack tools can process this volume in hours.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses — over a million unique identifiers tied to personal and professional accounts
• Plaintext Passwords — fully readable credentials requiring zero effort to exploit
• URLs — specific service endpoints where each credential was originally captured

Mass Credential Stuffing at Scale

A dump of this size is particularly dangerous because of credential stuffing—the practice of feeding stolen email-password pairs into automated bots that test them against banking, email, social media, and e-commerce sites. With nearly 1.2 million pairs to work with, attackers can run large-scale campaigns that yield thousands of successful account takeovers. Anyone who has ever reused a password across services should consider themselves a potential target.

The HolyCloud Stealer Log Pipeline

HolyCloud is a known stealer log operation that aggregates data harvested by infostealer malware. Victims typically become infected through phishing campaigns, trojanized software downloads, or malicious browser extensions. Once installed, the malware silently captures every credential stored in web browsers, auto-fill forms, and password vaults. These credentials are collected at industrial scale, organized into numbered private releases like this one, and distributed through Telegram channels and underground forums.

Check If Your Credentials Were Exposed

With nearly 1.2 million records in this single dump, the chances of your data being included are significant. Run your email through HEROIC's breach scanner, which indexes more than 400 billion compromised records from thousands of known breaches. A search takes seconds and can tell you definitively whether your credentials were part of the HolyCloud Private 152 leak or any other known exposure.
