33k Food Base Leak: 33,075 Plaintext Passwords Exposed Now

In January 2023, a stealer log labeled "33k Food Base" was uploaded to Telegram by an anonymous user. The file contains 33,075 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs, harvested from devices infected with information-stealing malware and grouped together because the accounts involved trace back to food ordering and delivery services.

Why a "Food Base" Leak Deserves Attention

Food delivery and ordering accounts often have saved payment methods, home addresses, and order history attached to them, on top of the login itself. A stolen password for one of these accounts can hand an attacker more than just access to an app, it can expose personal details tied to where someone lives and how they pay.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs identifying the food ordering or delivery service each password unlocks

Why This Matters

Because these passwords are stored in plaintext and matched to their specific login pages, they can be used immediately in credential stuffing attacks against food delivery accounts and any other service where the same password was reused. That can lead to account takeover, unauthorized orders, identity theft, and financial fraud if payment details are attached to the account.

How a Themed Stealer Base Like This Gets Made

Information-stealing malware infects a victim's device, often through a pirated download or malicious link, and quietly copies passwords saved in the browser along with the web addresses they belong to. Criminals then sort the stolen credentials by category, in this case pulling out everything tied to food ordering and delivery sites, and package them into a themed file like "33k Food Base" before sharing it on Telegram.

Check If You Are Affected

If you order food online and haven't changed that password in a while, now is a good time. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out if your login was exposed.
