14-JAN THIRD BASE Leak Opens a Path to Account Takeover

HEROIC analysts reviewed a combolist named 14-JAN THIRD BASE, uploaded to Telegram and dated 15-Jan-2026. It contains 4,993 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs each pair was matched against. Scanning your email is the only way to know whether you're one of them.

One Password Can Open Several Doors

A combolist like 14-JAN THIRD BASE exists specifically to test stolen credentials against other sites, which is what makes it dangerous beyond the original source. Because the passwords are stored in plain text, no extra step is needed before an attacker can try them. Every pair in this file is essentially a key already cut, waiting to see which lock it fits.

What's Inside The 14-JAN THIRD BASE File

• Email Addresses: gives an attacker a confirmed target to pair with each password attempt.
• Plaintext Password: ready to use immediately, with nothing to crack or decode first.
• URLs: shows which site each credential pair was tested or collected against.

How One Leaked Pair Becomes Several Problems

Once a password from this list is confirmed working, the same credential is often tried automatically against email providers, banking portals, and workplace logins. A single reused password can therefore cascade into account takeover across multiple services at once. From there, attackers commonly move toward locking out the real owner, intercepting password reset emails, or using a hijacked account to target that person's contacts.

How A Combolist Like This Gets Made

A combolist is built by gathering email and password pairs from earlier leaks and infections, then testing and sorting them specifically so they can be reused on new sites. It is not proof that one service was broken into, instead it reflects passwords collected over time and recombined into a fresh file. The goal is reuse, not a single original source.

How Many Of Your Accounts Share This Password?

Use the scan your email tool first to see if your address appears in this file. Then change the password everywhere it has been reused, starting with email and financial logins before moving to less sensitive accounts. Apply this to work email as well as personal accounts, since a single reused password can bridge both without warning.
