12,745 Credentials From BabaCloudLogs 225 Shared on Telegram

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded to a public Telegram channel on May 15, 2025. The file, labeled BabaCloudLogs 225 Cloud Logs, quietly appeared among thousands of similar dumps circulating in criminal communities. It contained 12,745 records pulled directly from compromised devices -- including email adresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs belonging to cloud services and API endpoints. No headlines. No warnings. Just credentials already in the wrong hands.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer logs are dangerous precisely because they are quiet. The victims never get a notification. The data is harvested silently from infected machines and passed between criminals on Telegram before most people even know a breach occurred. Because passwords are stored in plaintext, attackers do not need to crack anything. They can start attempting logins immediately across dozens of services.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (login pages, API hosts, cloud service endpoints)

Why This Matters

Plaintext passwords are a worst-case scenario for any breach. There is no hashing to slow down an attacker and no salt to complicate their work. Combined with email addresses and service URLs, criminals have everything needed to attempt account takeovers immediately. Most people reuse the same password across many accounts, so a single leaked credential can snowball into identity theft, unauthorised finantial transactions, and corporate intrusions. Credential stuffing tools automate this process at massive scale.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer malware infects a device through phishing emails, fake software downloads, or malicious browser extensions. Once active, it runs in the background and captures passwords typed or saved by the user, the URLs of websites visited, and in some cases API keys and session tokens. Everything is packaged into a log file and sent to the attacker's server. That log is then uploaded to Telegram channels or dark web markets where other criminals can purchase or download it freely.

Check If You Are Affected
