79,745 Plaintext Passwords Leaked in the Logs_5 Stealer Log Dump

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log uploaded to Telegram on October 5, 2025, containing 79,745 records. Known in the underlying data as Logs_5, the file includes email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those credentials belong to, with most affected accounts tied to users in the United States.

Why 79,745 Plaintext Passwords in Logs_5 Is a Serious Problem

Every one of the 79,745 records in this file pairs a plaintext password with the exact site it belongs to. That is not a list an attacker has to work to use, it is a ready-made set of logins. No cracking, no password-hashing puzzle to solve, just an email, a password, and a website waiting to be accessed.

What Was Exposed in the Logs_5 Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each login

Why This Matters for Anyone in the Logs_5 Data

Attackers rarely limit themselves to the site a password came from. They test the same email and password pair against banking sites, email providers, and shopping accounts through credential stuffing, relying on the fact that people commonly reuse passwords. That can quickly turn into account takeover, identity theft, or unauthorized financial charges tied to accounts that were never directly involved in this leak.

How a Stealer Log Like Logs_5 Gets Created

Infostealer malware infects a device through a phishing link, a cracked download, or a malicious attachment, then quietly copies every saved username and password out of the browser. That data is bundled into a log file and sent to the attacker, who often uploads it to Telegram channels within days, which is how a file like Logs_5 ended up circulating publicly.

Check If You Are Affected by the Logs_5 Leak

Instead of wondering whether your credentials made it into a log like this one, you can check directly. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like Logs_5, so you can find out in minutes and update any passwords that may already be in someone else's hands.
