45 Passwords Leaked in Plaintext: The ‘allhits’ Combolist

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist labeled "allhits" uploaded to a Telegram channel on March 18, 2026, containing 45 records of email addresses paired with plaintext passwords and associated URLs. Every one of those 45 sets of credentials is exposed exactly as typed, with no encryption standing between the data and anyone who downloads the file.

Why This Is Dangerous

A plaintext leak means an attacker can use these credentials the instant they get the file. There is no password to crack and no encryption to break, just 45 ready-made logins that can be tested against the sites listed in the file, and against any other service where the same password might have been reused.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs

Why This Matters

Even a batch of 45 records is enough to power a credential stuffing run, where an attacker automatically tests each login against banking sites, shopping accounts, and social media platforms. If any of these 45 people reused their password elsewhere, the result can be account takeover, followed by identity theft or financial fraud.

How Combolists Work

A combolist is a plain text file pairing usernames or email addresses with passwords, typically gathered from phishing pages, malware infections, or older breaches and shared or sold on Telegram channels. Names like "allhits" suggest the uploader is marketing the file as a collection of confirmed working logins rather than a raw, unverified dump.

Check If You Are Affected

Even a small combolist like this one is worth checking against. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can quickly find out whether your email and password appear in this dataset or any other, and change your credentials before someone else uses them.
