The 1M URL LOG PASS Breach Happened Months Ago. The Data Just Went Public.

HEROIC analysts catalogued a stealer log upload to Telegram on November 20, 2025, advertised as a 1 million record URL-Login-Password collection. When verified, the file contained 624,960 records -- below the advertised figure but still a substantial release. Each entry included an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the service the login belonged to. The file was distributed via a cloud text hosting link, a distribution method that allows faster and wider sharing than direct Telegram file uploads.

Why a File Uploaded Months Ago Is Still an Active Threat Today

Credential files do not expire when they stop trending in Telegram channels. The data in this file has been available to anyone who downloaded it since November 2025, and those copies do not disappear when the original link goes down. Attackers archive credential files and return to them over months or years -- running them through fresh credential stuffing campaigns, checking whether victims have since reused the same password on a new service, or bundling them into larger combolists. The breach happened months ago. The risk from this data is still ongoing today.

What Was Exposed in the 1M URL LOG PASS TXT Cloud Dump

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords (no hashing, immediately usable by any attacker who downloaded the file)
• URLs identifying the specific services each login belongs to

Why Credential Files From Late 2025 Are Still Relevant Now

Many people do not change their passwords regularly. A credential harvested in late 2025 and never acted on by the original attacker may still be valid today if the victim has not been alerted and has not reset their password. Additionally, email addresses and associated service URLs from these logs get rolled into aggregated combolists that circulate for years on dark web forums. Even if the original Telegram link is long gone, the data from this file is likely still active in the credential trading ecosystem. This is why checking whether your email appeared in a breach from months ago is still worthwile.

How Cloud-Linked Stealer Logs Reach a Wider Audience Than Direct File Uploads

When a Telegram operator posts a direct file, it reaches only the subscribers of that channel at that moment. Cloud text links work differently: a single URL can be shared across multiple channels, forwarded in private messages, and downloaded by anyone who encounters it, even weeks after the initial post. That makes cloud-hosted credential files like this one significantly harder to contain. A file advertised as 1M records that was actually 624,960 may have been previewed or partially verified before release, which is common practise in credential markets where sellers want to build trust with buyers before the full drop. The discrepancy between the advertised and actual record count is a regualr feature of these releases.

Check Whether Your Email Is in the 1M URL LOG PASS Archive

Even though this file was shared months ago, the credentials in it may still be working. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion exposed records, including stealer log collections distributed via cloud hosting links. Search now to see whether your login appeared in this dump -- and if it did, change your passwords immediately, starting with your email account and any financial services tied to it.
