The APRIL 9 Leak: 13,169 Stolen Login Credentials Exposed

13,169 Login Credentials Exposed in the APRIL 9 Stealer Log

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file, labeled "APRIL 9 - 5975 LOGS.part06," uploaded to a Telegram channel. The data was leaked on 09 May 2024 and contains 13,169 records taken from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts those logins open.

Why This Is Dangerous

This file was not taken from a company's servers. It was collected directly off individual victims' computers by malware that recorded their saved logins as they typed them. That means every credential in this file is real, current, and tied to a specific website, so an attacker does not have to guess or crack anything to get in. They simply match the email and password to the listed URL and log in as the victim.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the sites the credentials were used on

Why This Matters

With 13,169 credentials in plaintext, this file gives attackers a ready made list for automated login attempts across banking sites, webmail, and social media accounts. Anyone who reused their password from one of these accounts on another site faces a real risk of credential stuffing, account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud.

How Stealer Log Leaks Like This Happen

Stealer logs are generated by information stealing malware that infects a device through a cracked download, a malicious attachment, or a fake software update. Once installed, it quietly reads saved browser passwords, autofill data, and session details, then sends everything back to whoever controls the malware. These logs are often split into numbered parts, like this one labeled part06, and distributed through Telegram channels where they can be downloaded by anyone.
