One Telegram Post. 15,633 Records. The 318 PCS Free Logs Dump.
HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file uploaded to a public Telegram channel on December 23, 2024, labeled 318 PCS, 22 December, Free Logs. One post. One file. 15,633 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the login pages those credentials belong to, all sitting in the open for anyone in the channel to download.
Why This Free Logs Dump Is Dangerous
Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext and matched directly to a URL, an attacker does not need to guess, crack, or decrypt anything. Labeling it free logs means the uploader intended it for wide distribution, so more people had the chance to grab this file and start testing the credentials than a typical paid dump.
What Was Exposed in the 318 PCS Upload
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs of the affected login pages
Why This Matters for the 15,633 People Affected
A leak of this size gives attackers a large pool of working credentials to run through credential stuffing tools, automatically testing each email and password pair against other websites. Anyone in this file who reused a password elsewhere faces a real risk of account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft.
How a Stealer Log Like This One Gets Made
Stealer logs are produced by malware that infects a device through a fake download, cracked software, or a phishing link, then quietly copies the passwords and site data saved in the victim's browser. That harvested information is bundled into a log file and released, in this case for free, through channels like the Telegram post where it appeared. Because the data comes directly from an active browser, the passwords collected are typically the exact ones the victim was using at the time of infection.
