Picture 1,457 Logins Sitting in One Telegram Upload File

Every one of the 1,457 passwords in the 4566_KRDCLOUD file, uploaded to Telegram on 24-Aug-2026, was stored and leaked in plain, readable text rather than being hashed or otherwise protected. HEROIC analysts confirmed the credentials are genuine, paired with matching email addresses and login URLs. Because a plaintext password needs no extra work to exploit, the smart move is to scan your email and check your own exposure now.

Why Plaintext Passwords Are the Worst Case

When a password is hashed, an attacker has to spend time and computing power trying to crack it before it becomes useful. A plaintext password skips that entirely, it is already in a form that can be typed straight into a login box, which means the window between exposure and misuse is effectively zero.

What This File Handed Over

• Email addresses: identify the account and support targeted phishing messages.
• Plaintext passwords: usable immediately, with no cracking step in the way.
• Login URLs: confirm exactly which site each password pair belongs to.

Why the Password Format Changes the Risk Level

A file this size with hashed passwords would still be concerning, but it would buy account holders some time while attackers worked to crack them. With 1,457 plaintext passwords already exposed, that buffer does not exist, so any account still using one of these passwords is vulnerable the moment someone opens the file.

How This Kind of Plaintext List Gets Compiled

Combolists like this one are typically stitched together from older breaches and malware logs where passwords were captured before encryption or where the original service stored them insecurely in the first place. Once compiled, the file is distributed for credential stuffing, testing the same email and password pair against many unrelated services.

What Should You Check Right Now?

Scan your email to see if your address is among the 1,457 records in this file or anywhere else in HEROIC's tracked leaks. If your email turns up, change that password immediately, stop reusing it on other accounts, and add multi-factor authentication wherever it is available. Check both your personal and work email addresses, since plaintext lists like this one rarely separate the two.
