Your 22.7 LOGS_CENTEER Data May Be at Risk: Here’s What You Need to Know

A stealer log file called "22.7 LOGS_CENTEER" was uploaded to Telegram in July 2022, putting 11,244 records into public circulation. Each record contains an email address, a plaintext password, and a URL, the exact combination that credential stuffing tools are built to exploit. If you have not checked whether your information was part of this dump, now is the time to do it.

Why This Is Dangerous

The fact that passwords are stored in plaintext in this log is the most critical detail. There is no hashing to crack, no encoding to reverse. Anyone who downloads the file can take a username and password and attempt a login on any site within seconds of opening it.

Stealer logs that include URLs are more dangerous than simple credential lists because the URLs tell attackers exactly which service each password belongs to. This eliminates the guesswork and makes automated attacks far more efficient, since tools can be pointed at the right login page immediately.

Even though this log dates back to July 2022, old credential dumps remain dangerous for years. People rarely change passwords unless they know they were breached, so a three-year-old plaintext password may still unlock accounts today. Attackers know this and actively use aged logs for credential stuffing campaigns.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses linked to online accounts
• Plaintext passwords captured from infected endpoints
• URLs identifying specific login portals targeted
• API host addresses harvested from compromised devices
• Browser-stored autofill credentials
• Session tokens or cookies captured at time of infection
• Device or application identifiers from compromised machines

Why This Matters

The 22.7 LOGS_CENTEER file has been accessable through Telegram channels for several years, meaning it has had ample time to be downloaded, copied, and folded into aggregated credential databases on dark web forums. The longer a dump circulates, the more actors have had a chance to use it, and the harder it becomes to know who currently holds your data.

One thing many people overlook is that stealer logs do not just represent a password problem, they represent an endpoint compromise. The device that was infected may have also had sensitive documents, browser history, saved payment methods, and corporate VPN credentials stored on it. The 11,244 records in this log are just what the malware chose to package and send back.

How Stealer Log Works

Stealer malware is delivered through vectors like phishing emails, pirated software, or malicious browser extensions. Once it runs on a device, it methodically searches for stored credentials in browsers like Chrome and Firefox, email clients, FTP applications, and any software that caches login data locally. The whole sweep can occure in under a minute.

After harvesting the credentials, the malware packages them into a structured log file, often sorted by URL or service type. This file is then sent to a command-and-control server or, as in this case, dropped directly into a Telegram channel where it becomes freely availible to anyone monitoring that channel.

Because the compromise happens at the device level rather than at a single company's server, the breach is invisible to every organization whose services appear in the log. There are no breach notifications, no forced password resets, and no automatic alerts. The only way to know you were affected is to check external sources like HEROIC's breach database.

Check If You Were Affected

Use HEROIC's free breach checker at heroic.com to search for your email address and find out if it appeared in the 22.7 LOGS_CENTEER dump or any other known breach. HEROIC continuously indexes stealer logs, dark web forums, and Telegram data dumps so you get results in real time. If your email turns up, change the adress and password combination immediately on every service where you used it.
