752,416 Gmail Passwords Exposed in GMAIL NEW 0820 Data Leak

752,416 Records Surface in a Gmail-Focused Stealer Log Named "GMAIL NEW 0820"

HEROIC's dark web monitoring team identified a stealer log named "GMAIL NEW 0820," uploaded to a Telegram channel on 24-Apr-2023. The file contains 752,416 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the site the credentials were captured from.

Why the GMAIL NEW 0820 Stealer Log Is Dangerous

This file is dangerous because it eliminates the guesswork attackers would otherwise need to break into an account. Each record already ties a specific email and password to the exact site it unlocks, so there's nothing left to crack. Because the passwords were captured and stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains the file can read them the moment they open it and start logging in.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the websites where the credentials were used

Why This Matters

With over 750,000 working email and password combinations in one file, this is prime material for account takeover, since each record hands an attacker a login for a specific account. It also drives credential stuffing: if you reused that same email and password combination on other sites, those accounts are at risk too, well beyond whatever accounts are named directly in this file.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs come from malware that infects a device, quietly copies saved passwords and active browser sessions, and sends everything back to whoever is running the malware. The output is a plain text file listing exactly which login works on which website, harvested straight from the source. Files like "GMAIL NEW 0820" are then packaged and traded on Telegram, which is exactly where HEROIC analysts found this one.

Check If You Are Affected

With more than 750,000 records in this file, there's a real chance your email is included. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, and tells you immediately if you've been exposed. If you get a match, change that password right away and avoid reusing it anywhere else.
