13,515 BabaCloudLogs Records Slipped Out on Telegram

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log dataset quietly posted to a public Telegram channel on May 27, 2025. The file, labeled "BabaCloudLogs 221 Cloud Logs," contained 13,515 records with email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs pointing to cloud services and API hosts. Unlike a high-profile corporate breach that makes headlines, this kind of upload slips by largely unnoticed -- until someone starts using the data.

Why This Is Dangerous

The calm nature of this upload is exactly what makes it worrying. Stealer logs shared on Telegram are quickly picked up by automated botts that run credential stuffing attacks -- testing each email and password pair across dozens of popular services. Because the passwords are in plaintext, there is no barrier between the stolen data and a successful login attempt on any account where the same password is reused.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (cloud service and API endpoints)

Why This Matters

Credential leaks from stealer logs feed directly into account takeover attacks. Once an attacker has a working email and password, they can access email inboxes, cloud storage, financial accounts, and business tools -- especially if the victim reuses passwords across services. The exposed API and cloud URLs in this dataset also put developer accounts and business infrastructure at risk, not just personal accounts. Victims may face identity theft, financial fraud, or unauthorized acces to sensitive systems before they ever realize something is wrong.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

Stealer malware infects a device without the user noticing -- often delivered through a fake software download, a malicious browser extension, or a phishing email. Once running, it quietly collects saved passwords from web browsers, email clients, FTP tools, and apps. It then packages everything into a log file and sends it to the attacker. These logs get traded and published on Telegram channels where other criminals use them for account takeover attempts. The infection itself might have happened weeks or months before the data surfaces publicly.
