Reusing Passwords? The 12.All-Passwords-Passwords-Only Leak Matters

If you reuse the same password across more than one site, a file HEROIC analysts found on Telegram should get your attention. Named 12.All-Passwords-Passwords-Only and dated November 2025, it holds 60,881 plaintext passwords paired with email addresses and the web pages those logins open. The only way to know if one of them is yours is to scan your email.

Your Habits Are What Make This File Dangerous

A password by itself only matters if it still works somewhere. If you have ever used the same password on more than one account, a single line in this file could give an attacker a path into your email, your shopping accounts, or anything else tied to that password.

What This Password Only File Contains

• Email Addresses: tell an attacker which inbox to target with phishing or account recovery attempts.
• Plaintext Passwords: sit in fully readable form, so they can be used immediately without any extra effort.
• URLs: point to the exact login page tied to each password, saving the attacker any guesswork.

Why You Should Take This Personally

It is easy to assume a leak like this is someone else's problem. But account takeover, drained loyalty points, and hijacked email are all real outcomes when a working password ends up in the wrong hands, and none of that requires your name to appear anywhere obvious in the file.

How a File Like This Gets Made

A combolist brings together email and password pairs from many earlier sources so someone can test which ones still work. It is not a sign that one specific company was hacked. It is simply a working list built to find still valid logins across the internet.

Should You Worry About the 12.All-Passwords-Passwords-Only Leak?

Find out for certain by choosing to scan your email. If your address is listed, change that password now, and change it anywhere else you used the same one, since that is exactly how one leak turns into several. Do this for both personal and work email addresses alike.
