169,027 Email and Password Pairs Just Surfaced in HOTMAIL PART 17

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist file called HOTMAIL PART 17, uploaded by a Telegram user on February 28, 2023. The file contains 169,027 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL that login works on. Why This Is Dangerous: With 169,027 complete login pairs in one file, there is no cracking or guesswork required. Anyone who obtains this list has an email, its exact password, and the site it opens, ready to use immediately. What Was Exposed: - Email addresses - Plaintext passwords - URLs tied to each login Why This Matters: A file this large gives attackers real scale for credential stuffing, automatically testing each stolen login against banking sites, email providers, and social platforms. Anyone whose password shows up here and was reused elsewhere faces genuine risk of account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud. How a Combolist Like This Works: A combolist compiles stolen or leaked login pairs, often assembled from older breaches, phishing hauls, or stealer malware, and grouped by the site each credential works on. Numbered files like "PART 17" typically indicate one segment of a much larger collection being distributed piece by piece on Telegram.
