Your Password May Be in the 15K Germany SQIL New Leak: 15,542 Exposed

Your Password May Be Sitting in the "15K Germany SQIL New" Log

If you have logged into any online account recently, this leak is worth your attention. HEROIC analysts found a stealer log named "15K Germany SQIL New" posted to Telegram on February 28, 2023, containing 15,542 records. Each record links an email address to a plaintext password and the URL of the website where that login was used, meaning your credentials could be sitting in this file right now without your knowledge.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because every password in this file is unencrypted, anyone who downloads it can try your email and password combination on sight, with no extra effort needed to crack anything. If you are someone who reuses passwords, one leaked login here could give an attacker a working key to your email, banking, or shopping accounts as well. You would likely have no way of knowing your credentials were exposed unless you actively check.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs and endpoints tied to each login

Why This Matters

If your email and password appear together in this file, you become a target for credential stuffing, where attackers automatically test the same combination across dozens of other sites. Should one of those attempts succeed, you could face account takeover, unauthorized purchases, or a hijacked email inbox used to reset passwords on even more of your accounts. The risk grows the more places you have reused that same password.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer malware usually reaches your device through a pirated download, a fake software crack, or a malicious attachment, and once it is running, it quietly pulls every saved password and autofill entry straight out of your browser. That information gets packaged into a file and sent back to the attacker, often through an automated Telegram bot built for this exact purpose. Files like this one, labeled with a country and a batch number, suggest the uploader is releasing a series of similar logs over time.

Check If You Are Affected

You can find out in seconds whether your information appears in this leak or any other. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can see your exposure and change any at-risk passwords right away.
