The 12.7K Goods Leak Holds More Logins Than a Small Town’s Population

HEROIC analysts uncovered a combolist known as 12.7k goods uploaded by a Telegram User, shared on 29-Apr-2023. The file contains 12,741 records of email or username and plaintext password pairs, along with the URLs of the accounts they unlock.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this combolist are stored in plaintext and already paired with matching emails and site URLs, anyone who obtains the file can log straight into the accounts it references. There is no password cracking involved, just a list of working logins ready to be tried against dozens of popular websites.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the affected login pages

Why This Matters

12,741 login pairs is enough to fuel large-scale automated attacks. If your email and password are among them, and you have reused that password anywhere else, attackers can use credential stuffing tools to try the same combination across banking, email, and shopping sites in seconds. That can quickly escalate into account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft.

How Combolists Work

A combolist is simply a text file that pairs stolen emails or usernames with their matching passwords, usually gathered from older breaches, phishing campaigns, or stealer malware and then combined into one list. Criminals trade these lists on Telegram and dark web forums because they are easy to feed directly into automated login tools, letting an attacker test thousands of accounts across many websites in a very short time.
