5,393 Passwords From the Info Combolist Just Surfaced on Telegram

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist file named simply info uploaded to a Telegram channel in July 2026. Despite the generic name, the file is far from small: it contains 5,393 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs those accounts belong to. Why This Is Dangerous: Every password in this file is stored in plaintext, meaning there is no encryption standing between an attacker and a working login. Anyone who downloads the file can immediately begin testing thousands of email and password combinations against real websites. What Was Exposed: - Email addresses - Plaintext passwords - URLs tied to the accounts Why This Matters: A list of 5,393 working credentials is large enough to fuel an automated credential stuffing campaign, where attackers run every pair against banking sites, email providers, and social media platforms hoping a percentage still work. If your email and password appear in this file and you reused that password anywhere else, those accounts are exposed too. Reused passwords remain one of the most common paths to account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft. How a Combolist Like This Works: A combolist bundles usernames or emails together with passwords, usually collected from smaller breaches, stealer logs, or older leaks and merged into a single file for easy distribution. Telegram channels are a common place to trade these lists, letting one uploader put thousands of credentials in front of many attackers at once, who then run them through automated login tools to confirm which pairs still work. Check If You Are Affected: Run a free scan against HEROIC's database of more than 400 billion breached records to see if your email address appears in this leak or any other. If it does, change that password immediately and update it anywhere else you may have reused it.
