Act Now: 6,538 Hotmail Logins Leaked in Fresh Telegram Stealer Dump

Time matters when a leak like this surfaces. On January 12th, 2026, a Telegram user uploaded a stealer log simply titled HOTMAIL, and once HEROIC's team confirmed the contents, 6,538 credential records were sitting inside, ready for anyone to download and use.

Why This Is Dangerous

Email accounts are the master key to almost everything else online, password resets, two factor codes, and account recovery all flow through them. A HOTMAIL specific dump means an attacker is not just after one service, they are after the account that can unlock dozens of others tied to it. Waiting to act only gives them more time to test these 6,538 logins before you get there first.

What Was Exposed

• 6,538 total compromised records
• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Password
• URLs linked to the login source

Why This Matters

If your Hotmail account is tied to your banking, shopping, or work logins through password reset links, this leak is not something to shrug off. An attacker who gets in could imediately begin resetting passwords on every other service connected to that inbox, locking you out one account at a time.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

This HOTMAIL file follows the standard stealer log formula, malware sneaks onto a device through a shady download or phishing link, then quietly copies saved browser passwords straight out of storage. That information gets packaged into a log and uploaded to a channel like the one wich hosted this dump, sometimes within hours of the original infection.

Check If You Are Affected

Do not wait to find out the hard way. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, including this HOTMAIL dump, so you can act now instead of after an account gets taken over.
