74,537 Plaintext Passwords Exposed in BabaCloudLogs Stealer Log
HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file named "BabaCloudLogs 500 Cloud Logs" circulating on a Telegram channel on August 3, 2025. The file contained 74,537 records harvested directly from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs tied to cloud service endpoints. Because the data was pulled straight from compromised machines rather than a single company's database, it reflects credentials that may still be active on the sites and services victims were logged into at the time of infection.
Why This Stealer Log Is Dangerous
Unlike a typical corporate breach, a stealer log hands attackers working username and password pairs in plaintext, with no need to crack or guess anything. Anyone who buys or downloads this file can attempt to log directly into the email accounts, cloud dashboards, and other services tied to these 74,537 records. Because passwords are frequently reused across multiple sites, a single stolen credential can open the door to email, banking, and workplace accounts far beyond the original point of infection.
What Was Exposed in the BabaCloudLogs Leak
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs, including site and API endpoints tied to each credential
Why This Matters for Anyone Who Reuses Passwords
Stealer logs like this one are a primary fuel source for credential stuffing attacks, where automated tools test stolen email and password pairs against banking sites, email providers, and workplace logins. If any of these 74,537 credentials match an account you still use, an attacker could take over that account, reset its recovery details, and lock you out. From there, the risk can expand into identity theft, unauthorized purchases, and further phishing aimed at your contacts.
How Stealer Log Malware Collects Data Like This
Stealer logs come from malware that infects a device, often through a fake download, cracked software, or malicious email attachment, and then quietly copies saved passwords, browser autofill data, and session details before sending them back to the attacker. The malware does not target one company. It scoops up whatever credentials happen to be stored on the infected machine, which is why a single stealer log file can contain logins for dozens of unrelated websites and services, as this one does with its mix of email accounts and cloud endpoints.
