2,355 Emails & Passwords Exposed in “BR 3.13” Stealer Log Leak

On January 18, 2023, a file known as "BR 3.13" surfaced on a Telegram channel used to distribute stolen credentials. The file is a stealer log, a raw dump of information pulled directly from malware-infected computers, and it contains 2,355 individual records. Each record pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the website URL where that password was used.

Why the BR 3.13 Leak Is a Real Threat

Stealer logs like this one are especially dangerous because the passwords inside are not encrypted or hashed. They were harvested in plaintext directly from an infected device's browser or saved-password store, which means anyone who downloads this file can read your login credentials exactly as you typed them. There is no code to crack and no delay before someone can start using them.

What Was Inside the BR 3.13 Stealer Log

• Email addresses tied to online accounts
• Plaintext passwords stored or entered on infected devices
• URLs showing which sites and services each password unlocks

Why This Matters for Anyone in the File

When an email, password, and website are packaged together, criminals do not need to guess anything. They can log straight into the account listed next to your credentials, then try that same password on your email, banking, and social media accounts through a technique called credential stuffing. Because so many people reuse passwords, a single stealer log entry can lead to account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud across accounts that were never part of the original infection.

How This Telegram Stealer Log Was Created

Stealer logs come from infostealer malware, a type of program that quietly runs on a victim's device and copies saved passwords, browser autofill data, and session cookies. Once collected, the data is packaged into a file like BR 3.13 and sold or given away on Telegram channels and dark web forums, often within days of the original infection. This is not a breach of any single company's servers. It is a snapshot of whatever an infected person had saved in their browser at the time.

Check If Your Email Was in the BR 3.13 Leak

The only way to know for certain if your information is part of this leak, or any of the thousands of other stealer logs and breaches circulating online, is to check. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, and tells you immediately if your email address has been exposed. If it has, change the affected password right away and turn on two-factor authentication wherever it is offered.
