apekx.in Combolist Puts 2,792 Plaintext Logins at Risk Now

A file labeled "apekx.in" surfaced on Telegram carrying 2,792 records dated 17 Aug 2019. Each entry pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the URL the login opens, all tied to the apekx.in site named in the file. That's a small enough list to check thoroughly, starting with your own address.

Why this is dangerous

Every password in this file is stored in plain, readable text, so an attacker doesn't need to crack or decode anything before testing a login. A smaller file like this one is also easy to run through by hand, not just with automated tools.

What was exposed

• Email addresses: the identifier tied to each of the 2,792 records.
• Plaintext passwords: readable and usable without any extra work.
• URLs: the apekx.in login page tied to each credential pair.

Why this matters

This is best read as a set of logins for apekx.in rather than proof that the site's own systems were hacked, since files like this are typically built by testing outside credential sources against a login page rather than by breaching it directly. The real danger is password reuse: anyone whose password appears here and used it elsewhere faces exposure well beyond this one site.

How this combolist likely came together

Smaller, site specific combolists like this one are usually built by running credentials pulled from phishing pages, malware logs, and older leaks against a single login page, then keeping only the pairs that worked. The apekx.in name tells buyers exactly which login the file was tested against.

Is your login one of the 2,792 in this file?

Scan your email to check it against the apekx.in combolist and every other file HEROIC tracks. If your address turns up, change that password right away, along with any other account sharing it, since even a small file like this can circulate widely once posted. This applies to personal and work email addresses alike.
