Identity Theft Got Easier Because of BabaCloudLogs: 15,351 at Risk

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log named BabaCloudLogs uploaded to a Telegram channel on August 24, 2025. The file contains 15,351 records harvested from infected devices, pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs of the accounts those credentials open.

Why the BabaCloudLogs Leak Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, no cracking or decryption is required before someone can use them. Each record also lists the specific URL a credential belongs to, so an attacker knows exactly where to try a stolen login instead of guessing. With over 15,000 records now sitting on Telegram, this file has already moved well past the reach of any single victim's awareness.

What the BabaCloudLogs Stealer Log Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs for the associated login pages and services

Why This Matters for Identity Theft and Account Takeover

A leak like BabaCloudLogs becomes dangerous the moment someone reuses a password from it elsewhere. Criminals feed leaked email and password pairs into automated tools that test the same combination against banking sites, email providers, and shopping accounts, a tactic known as credential stuffing. Once inside, an attacker can take over the account, make unauthorized purchases, or use the stolen personal details to commit identity theft.

How Stealer Log Breaches Like BabaCloudLogs Happen

A stealer log is generated by infostealer malware that infects a device and quietly copies whatever is stored in the browser, including saved passwords, autofill data, and the web addresses each login belongs to. The malware sends this information back to whoever controls it, who then shares or sells it, in this case through a Telegram channel where anyone can download it. Because the theft happens at the device level, a single log can contain credentials for many unrelated sites and services at once.
