2,286 Passwords From the United Arab Emirates 4 Leak Surfaced

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled United Arab Emirates 4 uploaded to a Telegram channel on March 23, 2023. The file contains 2,286 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with URLs pointing to the login pages tied to each set of credentials. The naming suggests this file is one in a series targeting accounts associated with the United Arab Emirates.

Why the United Arab Emirates 4 Leak Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this combolist are stored in plaintext, no additional cracking work is required before an attacker can use them. Paired with a direct login URL, this file gives anyone who downloads it a ready-made list of accounts to attempt to access immediately.

What Was Exposed in This Combolist

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each set of login credentials

Why This Matters for the 2,286 Accounts Involved

Regionally targeted combolists like this one are frequently used for credential stuffing against local banking, telecom, and government services. If any of these 2,286 people reused their password elsewhere, attackers can pivot from this single leak into email accounts, financial services, or social media profiles, opening the door to identity theft and financial fraud.

How Combolist Leaks Like This One Work

A combolist is built by collecting username or email and password pairs, often sourced from phishing pages, malware infections, or older breaches, and organizing them around a common theme such as a country or region. Grouping credentials by geography, as seen with United Arab Emirates 4, helps buyers target attacks at a specific population rather than working through an unsorted, generic dump.
