29-30.07.2024 Stealer Log: 9,903 Passwords Hit the Dark Web

HEROIC analysts came across a stealer log file dated 29-30.07.2024, uploaded to Telegram on July 31, 2024. Inside were 9,903 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs those logins unlock, all pulled from infected devices over that two day window. The only way to know if you're affected is to scan your email.

Why a Dated File Still Matters Today

A file named after the exact dates it was collected tells you something important: these were live, active logins at that moment, not old or recycled data. Passwords people were actively using in July 2024 often remain unchanged more than a year later, which keeps a file like this dangerous well past its upload date.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses: identifies who the account belongs to and gives attackers a target for phishing.
• Plaintext Password: sits in the file fully readable, usable right away with no cracking needed.
• URLs: shows attackers exactly which login page each password pair unlocks.

Why Old Dates Don't Mean Old Risk

People rarely change a password unless something forces them to, which means credentials captured over a year ago can still open real accounts today. A working pair from this file could let an attacker log into email, reset other account passwords, or make purchases using saved payment details.

How a Two Day Batch Like This Gets Collected

Stealer malware runs quietly in the background of an infected device, harvesting saved browser passwords and login pages as people use them. Files are often grouped by the exact dates the malware was actively collecting, which explains the 29-30.07.2024 naming on this batch.

Were Your Logins Captured During 29-30.07.2024?

Check the device you log in from for malware before changing anything, since an active infection will just capture new passwords again. Once it's clean, scan your email and update any exposed passwords from that clean device. Do this for both personal and work logins, since a single infected device often has access to both.
