Only 294 Records, but the ‘all_hits’ Leak Still Exposed Real Passwords

HEROIC analysts identified a small combolist called "all_hits" uploaded to a Telegram channel in May 2026. The file contains 294 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs where those credentials were used. It is a modest file compared to the massive breaches that make headlines, but every one of those 294 accounts is a real login that someone could use right now.

Why a Small Combolist Is Still Dangerous

Size does not make a leak safe. Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, anyone who gets hold of it can read the exact password next to the matching email address and site URL, with no extra work required. A list of 294 verified logins is a small enough target that an attacker could work through it by hand, trying each one directly.

What Was Exposed in the all_hits Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to the accounts

Why This Matters Even at This Scale

If your email and password appear in this file, the risk is the same as in a much larger breach: credential stuffing, account takeover, and potential identity theft or financial fraud if the reused password unlocks a banking, email, or shopping account. Attackers do not need millions of records to cause damage, they only need one working password tied to a valuable account.

How This Telegram Combolist Was Assembled

A combolist like "all_hits" is a plain text file of email-and-password pairs, typically pulled together from older breaches, phishing pages, or malware infections and repackaged for sharing. Telegram channels have become a common place to post these files because they are quick to set up and reach a wide audience of buyers and casual downloaders alike. This particular file appears to have been uploaded by an individual user rather than tied to one identifiable company breach.

Check If You Are One of the 294 Records

With a list this size, checking your own exposure only takes a moment. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including small combolists like this one, so you can find out quickly and change any reused passwords before they are used against you.
