A Quiet Leak: 403 Logins From loudPrivacy Cloud Still Exposed

Not every leak makes headlines, and loudPrivacy Private cloud 3 is one of the quiet ones. Back in January 2025, a Telegram user uploaded a modest file containing 403 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the site it belongs to. No press coverage, no big announcement, just a small file passed around in the shadows for over a year now.

Why This Is Dangerous

Small, quiet leaks are in some ways more concerning than the loud ones, because they often go unnoticed for a long time. Nobody is writing news stories about 403 records, wich means the people affected may never hear about it unless they happen to check for themselves. Meanwhile, the plaintext passwords sit there, fully usable, for anyone who stumbles across the file.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs for each login
• 403 total records exposed

Why This Matters

A leak that has been sitting around for over a year has had plenty of time to circulate quietly among smaller groups before ever surfacing more widely. If any of the 403 passwords in this file are still in use, the risk hasn't gone away just because time has passed, if anything, it has had longer to spread unoticed.

How Stealer Logs Work

This type of leak begins with malware secretly installed on a victim's computer, often through a pirated download or a disguised attachment. The malware reads through the browser's saved logins, autofill fields, and cookies, then bundles the results into a log file that gets shared or sold. That is exactly how loudPrivacy Private cloud 3 made its way onto Telegram in the first place, without any fanfare at all.

Check If You Are Affected

Quiet leaks deserve just as much attention as the big ones, maybe more since they are so easy to miss. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches over 400 billion leaked records, so you can check your email address and finally know for certain whether you were caught up in a leak like this one.
