2,438 Hotmail logins. One Telegram upload. That is the exact scope of a file named 2438x UHQ Hotmails, which HEROIC analysts found in June 2026. The file's name matches its contents precisely: 2,438 records, each pairing a Hotmail or Outlook email address with a plaintext password and login URL. Why This Combolist Is Dangerous: The label 'UHQ,' short for 'ultra high quality' in cybercriminal slang, signals that the uploader claims these logins are especially reliable or valuable. Since every entry targets Hotmail and Outlook accounts specifically, this file is aimed squarely at webmail access rather than a mix of random sites. What Was Exposed: - Email addresses (Hotmail and Outlook) - Plaintext passwords - URLs tied to each login Why This Matters: Access to a Hotmail or Outlook inbox often means access to everything else, since password reset emails for banking, shopping, and social media accounts typically land there first. If your account is among these 2,438 records, an attacker could use it as a stepping stone into the rest of your digital life. How a 'UHQ' Hotmail Combolist Like This Is Built: Lists marketed as UHQ are usually curated from larger, mixed combolists, phishing campaigns targeting Microsoft login pages, or malware that captures credentials as they are entered, then filtered down to just the working Hotmail and Outlook entries before being sold or shared. Check If You Are Affected: HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records. Run a scan to see if your Hotmail or Outlook login appears in 2438x UHQ Hotmails or any other breach.
