24,225 Records Leaked: Trident_Cloud_3 Telegram Data Breach

In June 2026, HEROIC analysts spotted a fresh stealer log named "Trident_Cloud_3" uploaded to Telegram. The file held 24,225 records, each one pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the site those credentials were used on. To put that number in perspective, it is roughly the size of a mid-sized college's entire student body, all with their saved logins pulled straight from infected devices and dumped online.

Why This Is Dangerous

Unlike a hashed password database that takes time and computing power to crack, this data is already in plaintext and matched to the exact site it unlocks. An attacker doesn't need special tools or expertise. They simply read the line and log in, whether that account belongs to an email provider, a retailer, or a bank.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated accounts

Why This Matters

Even a breach this size feeds directly into larger criminal operations. These records get combined with other leaks into massive credential-stuffing databases, where bots test the same login pairs across thousands of sites. When people reuse passwords, one exposed login can cascade into account takeover on multiple platforms, opening the door to identity theft and financial fraud.

How Stealer Logs Work

Trident_Cloud_3 follows the same pattern as other stealer logs. Infostealer malware infects a device, often disguised as a game cheat, cracked application, or fake browser update. Once running, it reaches into the browser's saved password vault and autofill data, then exports everything into a single organized file. That file becomes the "log," which is then shared or sold on Telegram channels dedicated to trading stolen data.

Check If You Are Affected

Whether a breach involves thousands or billions of records, the risk to you personally is the same if your data is in it. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, giving you an instant, clear answer so you know weather to change your passwords today.
