The 157 Stealer Log Quietly Surfaced on Telegram With 3,190 Passwords

HEROIC analysts catalogued the 157 stealer log after a Telegram user uploaded it on March 6, 2023. The file holds 3,190 records harvested from malware-infected endpoints, each one pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL where the login was originally used. It now lives in HEROIC's DarkHive intelligence as 157 uploaded by a Telegram User.

Why the 157 Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Small stealer logs are easy to ignore, which is part of what makes them effective. The 157 dump does not make headlines, but the 3,190 accounts inside it are as usable as any large breach. Attackers can simply add this list to their automated tooling and start logging in.

What Was Exposed in the 157 Dump

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each stolen credential

Why This Matters

Every record in this file is a complete login. That removes the guesswork attackers normally face. The same credentials fuel credential stuffing across unrelated sites, account takeover on email and banking, wire fraud, and identity theft. Stolen work logins can also become quiet access points into the victim's employer.

How a Stealer Log Like 157 Works

Infostealer malware arrives through cracked software, fake installers, malicious ads, or phishing attachments. Once running, it copies saved browser passwords, cookies, autofill data, and crypto wallet files, then sends the results back to the operator. Those results are bundled into log files and posted to Telegram channels or sold on dark web forums, which is exactly how the 157 file ended up public.

Check If You Are Affected
