ATM_LOGS: 11,235 More U.S. Accounts in a Second Telegram Batch

ATM_LOGS Isn't a One-Time Event — 11,235 More Credentials Prove It

HEROIC has identified multiple separate uploads from the ATM_LOGS Telegram distribution channel, each containing thousands of U.S. credentials. This batch — uploaded the same day as a 15,305-record companion file — adds another 11,235 email and password pairs to the total. The pattern is clear: ATM_LOGS operates as an ongoing distribution channel, not a single breach event. That means affected users face compounding exposure as new batches continue to appear.

This ATM_LOGS Batch: What Was Leaked

• Exposed Records: 11,235 credential sets
• Data Included: Email addresses, plaintext passwords, target login URLs
• Breach Type: Infostealer malware log
• Affected Region: United States
• Date of Upload: January 26, 2025
• Related Breach: Companion to the 15,305-record ATM_LOGS batch uploaded the same day

Multiple Uploads, One Distribution Channel

Criminal credential markets on Telegram often operate through named channels that build reputation over time. ATM_LOGS appears to be one such channel — uploading batches of infostealer logs on a reguler basis to attract followers, demonstrate scale, and potentially upsell premium access. The dual upload on January 26, 2025 suggests deliberate distribution strategy rather than a single accidental leak.

For victims, this distinction matters. If your credentials appeared in any ATM_LOGS upload, they've been accessible to the entire subscriber base of that Telegram channel — which, for active distribution channels, can number in the thousands of followers who each received the same file.

Plaintext Passwords: Still the Most Dangerous Piece

Unlike database breaches where companies store passwords as hashed values, infostealer logs contain plaintext passwords — the actual characters the user typed, captured before any encryption could be applied. Every credential in this ATM_LOGS batch works as a complete, ready-to-use login: email, password, and the URL where it's valid. No cracking tools required. Attackers can begin testing these credentials against the listed URLs within minutes of downloading the file.

For users who reuse passwords acros multiple sites, the risk multiplies significatly. One credential pair captured from a single infected device can provide access to email accounts, banking portals, and social media platforms if the same password was reused elsewhere.
