81 Passwords Leaked in HOTMAIL_1783 Telegram Stealer Log

In April 2026, a stealer log tracked internally as HOTMAIL_1783 surfaced after being uploaded to a Telegram channel by an anonymous user. The file contained 81 records harvested directly from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the sites those credentials unlocked. HEROIC identified and verified the exposure on 03-Apr-2026.

Why a Telegram-Uploaded Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Unlike a typical corporate breach, this data was not pulled from a single company’s database. It was collected by malware running on victims’ own computers, then packaged and shared on Telegram, a platform criminals use to trade fresh credentials quickly and cheaply. Because the passwords were stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads this log can use the logins immediately, with no cracking or guesswork required.

What Was Exposed in HOTMAIL_1783

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the websites and services those passwords belong to

Because the log pairs each password with the exact site it unlocks, it hands anyone who obtains the file a ready-made list of accounts to target, rather than raw data that still needs to be figured out.

Why This Matters for Anyone in This Log

Once a stealer log like this circulates on Telegram, it typically gets copied, resold, and fed into automated tools within days. That opens the door to several real risks:

• Credential stuffing: attackers run the same email and password combinations against banking, email, and shopping sites, hoping people reused them.
• Account takeover: since the exact login URL is included, criminals can go straight to the correct site and log in as the victim.
• Identity theft: access to an email inbox often leads to password resets on other accounts, exposing far more personal information.
• Financial fraud: if any of the linked sites involve payment details or banking access, stolen credentials can lead directly to unauthorized charges or transfers.

How This Stealer Log Was Built

Stealer logs like HOTMAIL_1783 come from malware, often disguised as cracked software, game cheats, or fake downloads, that quietly installs itself on a victim’s computer. Once running, it scans web browsers and saved login data, capturing usernames, passwords, and the exact web addresses they were entered on. The malware then sends this harvested data back to the attacker, who bundles it into a log file and sells or shares it, in this case through a Telegram upload, so other criminals can use it.
