The 226 PCS Free Logs Leak Contains More Stolen Records Than You Think

HEROIC analysts identified this stealer log on 21-Mar-2024. The breach exposed 2,910 records, with stolen data including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs. The source is identified as 226 PCS - 21 MARCH - FREE LOGS uploaded by a Telegram User.

Why This Is Dangerous

This stealer log contains plaintext passwords alongside email addresses, meaning hackers do not need to crack or decode anything. They can take these credentials and immediately try them on email providers, banking sites, and social media platforms using automated tools that test thousands of logins per minute.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs

Why This Matters

Exposed email and password pairs give criminals everything they need to attempt credential stuffing attacks across dozens of platforms. Account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud become immediate risks when login credentials circulate freely on Telegram channels and dark web forums.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs originate from malware installed on a victim's computer, often through a malicious download or phishing link. Once active, the malware silently collects saved passwords and website credentials, then sends them to whoever controls the malware. The data is bundled into log files and shared freely or sold to other criminals.
