88fd Telegram Combolist: 7 Passwords Leaked in Plaintext

HEROIC analysts identified a small combolist labeled "88fd" uploaded to a Telegram channel on August 20, 2026, containing 7 records of email addresses paired with plaintext passwords and associated URLs. Though the batch is small, each of the 7 credentials inside is fully readable and ready to use.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because these passwords were stored in plaintext, no cracking or technical effort is required to use them. Anyone who obtains this file can immediately try logging in with each email and password combination, taking advantage of accounts before their owners even know the data has leaked.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs

Why This Matters

Even a batch of only 7 records carries real risk for the people in it. Attackers routinely feed small combolists like this one into automated credential stuffing tools, testing the same email and password pair against banking sites, shopping accounts, and social media. If any of these 7 people reused their password elsewhere, one small leak can quickly turn into account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud.

How Combolists Work

A combolist is a plain text file pairing usernames or email addresses with passwords, typically gathered from phishing pages, malware infections, or older breaches and shared or sold on Telegram channels. Short, cryptic names like "88fd" are common for these files, since sellers and uploaders often churn out many small batches rather than one large release.

Check If You Are Affected

It only takes one exposed password to put an account at risk, so it is worth checking even a small leak like this one. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can quickly find out if your information has surfaced and change any reused passwords.
