300 PCS Free Logs Leak: 5,950 Stolen Records on Telegram

5,950 Records Surface in a Free Telegram Logs Drop

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file, labeled 300 PCS - 04 MAY - FREE LOGS, circulating on Telegram after being uploaded on 4 May 2024. The file was handed out for free and contained 5,950 records lifted from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those logins belong to.

Why This Free Logs Leak Is Dangerous

Giving this data away for free is exactly what makes it so risky. Because the file was posted openly rather than sold to a single buyer, far more people can grab a copy and start testing the credentials right away. And since the passwords are stored in plaintext, there's no encryption to break through: anyone who downloads the file can read a password, see the matching URL, and attempt to log in within seconds.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the sites the credentials came from

Why This Matters

A free, wide-reaching leak like this one raises the odds that your information ends up in the hands of many different people rather than just one. If your email and password appear in this file, attackers can use them for credential stuffing across other sites and for direct account takeover on the exact service the URL points to. The wider the file spreads, the longer those exposed logins stay a target.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs are built by malware that infects a victim's device, usually through a pirated program, a fake update, or a malicious attachment. The malware pulls saved usernames, passwords, and browsing data straight out of the browser and packages it into a file. That file is then dumped, sold, or, as in this case, given away for free on Telegram, putting real login credentials into the hands of anyone who downloads it.

Check If You Are Affected

Free logs like this one can spread quickly, so it's worth checking sooner rather than later. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer log dumps like this one, so you can find out right away if your credentials were part of this leak.
