240,153 Passwords Just Surfaced in the CHOMBOLIST FR Leak

HEROIC analysts identified a dataset, tracked as CHOMBOLIST FR FRESH, that a Telegram user uploaded on 21-Oct-2025. The file contains 240,153 records, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the login page URLs tied to those accounts. As the name suggests, this is a combolist, a large compiled list of email and password pairs rather than a single company's breach.

Why This Is Dangerous

A file of 240,153 records is large enough to run through automated attack tools that test each pair against dozens of websites in minutes. There is no manual work involved for the attacker, the software does the testing, and any password that still works becomes an open door.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages

Why This Matters

With 240,153 records in this combolist, the sheer scale makes it valuable to attackers running large credential stuffing campaigns. If a password from this file is reused on another account, it can lead to account takeover, and in more serious cases identity theft or financial fraud.

How Combolists Work

A combolist is built by combining email and password pairs from multiple sources, often older breaches, stealer log malware, and previously leaked databases, then merging and cleaning them into one large file. Sellers label combolists by region and freshness, as seen here with a batch marked for France and tagged "fresh," before sharing them through channels like Telegram where buyers test them against real accounts.
