281 US Accounts Exposed: all_hits Uploaded by a Telegram User Leak

In May 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled "all_hits" circulating after being uploaded by a Telegram user. The file contained 281 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with associated URLs, and was traced to accounts based primarily in the United States.

Why the all_hits Leak Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads the list can use the email and password pairs immediately, without needing to crack or decode anything. The included URLs point to the specific websites each login was used on, making it easy for an attacker to go straight to the right login page and try the credentials.

What the all_hits Combolist Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to the accounts

Why This Matters for US Accounts

A combolist this size may look small, but every entry represents a real login that could unlock more than one account. Most people reuse the same password across multiple sites, so a single exposed email and password pair can lead to credential stuffing attacks, account takeover, and eventually identity theft or financial fraud if the credentials connect to banking, shopping, or email accounts.

How Combolists Like This One Are Built

A combolist is a compiled file of username or email and password pairs, often pulled together from older breaches, malware logs, or manual collection efforts, then repackaged and shared on Telegram or dark web forums. Unlike a single company data breach, a combolist can mix data from many different sources, which is why the accompanying URLs are so useful to attackers trying to identify where each credential actually works.

Check If You Are Affected

If you had an account tied to any of the exposed URLs around May 2026, it is worth checking whether your information appears in this leak. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one, so you can find out quickly whether your email and password combination has been exposed and needs to be changed.
