29,297 Everyday Users Caught in One Telegram Stealer Log

Whoever uploaded this one called it Hits, a term stealer log traders use to describe successfully harvested credentials. On 18-Jun-2025, that casual label came attached to 29,297 individual records, each one representing a real person whose login information ended up in a Telegram channel without their knowledge.

Why This Is Dangerous

The people caught up in a leak of this size aren't executives or public figures, they're ordinary account holders whose devices happened to get infected. That's precisely what makes a dump like this valuable to criminals; ordinary people often reuse the same password across email, streaming services, and online banking, giving attackers a much wider path in than the original stolen account alone.

What Was Exposed

• 29,297 individual email address records
• Passwords stored in fully readable plaintext
• URLs marking which website each stolen credential belongs to

Why This Matters

It's easy to look at a number this large and asume you'd have heard about it already if you were affected. That's not how these leaks work. There was no public notification requirement here, no press coverage, just a quiet Telegram post that most of the 29,297 people involved probably still don't know exists.

How Stealer Logs Work

Dumps labeled Hits are usually compiled from multiple malware infections at once, often spread through pirated streaming sites that inject malicious redirects when a visitor clicks play. The malware installs quietly in the background, harvests saved credentials from the browser, and reports back to whoever is running the campaign, who then batches everything together before sharing it further.

Check If You Are Affected

With a leak this size, checking your exposure only takes a moment through HEROIC's free scanner, which searches more than 400 billion leaked records gathered from breaches and stealer logs, including this exact Hits file. If your email comes back as a match, change the password right away and check for the same one on other accounts.
