Analysts Found the Apostle Private 48 Combolist Leaking 1,020 Logins

HEROIC analysts discovered a combolist file named "APOSTLE PRIVATE 48" circulating on Telegram in November 2025. The file contains 1,020 records made up of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs, with accounts tied primarily to the United States.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every password in this file is stored in plaintext, meaning anyone who downloads it can read and use the credentials immediately, with no cracking required. The attached URLs point directly to the sites each login belongs to, so an attacker can quickly try each pair against the real service instead of guessing.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated website URLs

Why This Matters

Files like Apostle Private 48 are built for credential stuffing, where attackers feed the same email and password pairs into login pages across the web hoping people reused them. Since many people do reuse passwords, a leak of just over a thousand records can still lead to account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft for the people whose data is inside it.

How This Combolist Was Assembled

A combolist is a simple text file pairing emails or usernames with passwords, usually pulled together from a mix of older breaches, phishing pages, and malware that steals saved browser logins. Private combolists like Apostle Private 48 are often traded or sold in closed Telegram groups before wider copies circulate, which is how HEROIC analysts were able to identify and review this file.
