The Amazon Stealer Log Leaked in August 2023. Those 1,940 Passwords Are Still Out There.

HEROIC analysts identified this Amazon stealer log in August 2023, when a Telegram user uploaded the file and made it available to other threat actors. The dataset contained 1,940 records, each one extracted from a device that had been silently infected with credential-stealing malware. The stolen data included email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the Amazon URLs where those credentials were in use, giving any downloader a ready-made list of account logins requiring no further preparation to exploit.

Why This Is Dangerous

Amazon accounts carry a level of trust that makes them especially valuable to attackers. Saved payment methods, delivery addresses, order histories, and in some cases linked AWS credentials all sit behind a single login. When a stealer log delivers both the email and the plaintext password for an Amazon account, an attacker can attempt access immediately. There is no hash to reverse and no security question to guess. The record already contains everything needed for a direct login attempt, and attackers often act fast once a log is in their hands.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs (the specific sites where credentials were captured)

Why This Matters

Even 1,940 records represents nearly 2,000 real people whose Amazon logins were captured without their knowledge and shared among criminals on Telegram. Each record is a potential account takeover. Beyond Amazon itself, the same email and password combination is frequently reused across multiple services, which means attackers can run credential stuffing attacks against banking apps, email providers, streaming platforms, and social media using the same stolen pair. The chain from one stealer log to full identity theft is shorter than most people realize.

How Stealer Logs Work

Information-stealing malware is built to collect credentials silently from infected computers. The malware typically arrives through a phishing email, a malicious browser extension, or software downloaded from an untrustworthy source. Once active, it reads the saved usernames and passwords stored in browsers alongside the URLs they are associated with, then packages this data into a structured log file. That log is transmitted back to the attacker, who may use it directly, sell it, or share it on platforms like Telegram. The victim's computer appears to function normally throughout, which is what makes these infections so difficult to detect without active monitoring.
