164x Hit By Leak: One Password Could Unlock Several Accounts

On 23 Apr 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled "164x Hit By" uploaded to Telegram, exposing 164 records that pair email addresses with plaintext passwords and the login URLs each credential opens.

Why This Is Dangerous

A single entry in "164x Hit By" rarely stays a single problem. Because the password is stored in plaintext and already confirmed to work, an attacker can log into the exposed account immediately, then use whatever is inside, saved payment details, personal messages, or account recovery options, to reach further into a victim's other accounts.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated login URLs

Why This Matters

One exposed login from "164x Hit By" can set off a chain reaction. An attacker who gets into an email account can request password resets for banking, shopping, and social media accounts tied to that address, using credential-stuffing tools to speed up the process across all 164 records at once. What starts as a leaked email and password can end in drained accounts, stolen identities, and fraudulent charges on cards the victim never suspected were at risk.

How a List Like "164x Hit By" Gets Verified

The "Hit By" naming pattern indicates these 164 credentials were run through an automated checker tool that confirmed each login still worked before the file was shared. That verification step is what makes this kind of combolist especially dangerous: unlike raw, untested breach data, every record here has already been proven to grant access.

Check If You Are Affected

Because a single working login can lead to several compromised accounts, it is worth checking your exposure before an attacker chains their way through your digital life. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion compromised records and tells you instantly if you appear in "164x Hit By" or any other exposure. Run a free scan now.
