How the BabaCloudLogs 253 Infostealer Led to 22,289 Stolen Logins

HEROIC analysts detected a stealer log file posted to a public Telegram channel on July 9, 2025. The file was shared under the name BabaCloudLogs 253 Cloud Logs and contained 22,289 records harvested from compromised devices. Every record in the file includes an email address, a plaintext password, and a URL showing which service or application was targeted. The breach has been verified by our team as containing real, usable credential data.

When passwords are stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads this file can use its contents immediately. There is no decryption needed. An attacker can run these email and password pairs against email providers, cloud storage services, corporate login portals, and financial apps. The URLs included in the BabaCloudLogs 253 file make the process even more efficient, pointing attackers directly at the services where these credentials were actively used. Every person in this file is at risk of account takeover right now.

What Was Exposed in the BabaCloudLogs 253 Stealer Log

• Email addresses harvested from infected endpoint devices
• Plaintext passwords captured live at the moment of login
• URLs identifying the targeted websites and cloud services
• Endpoint device data from the infected machines

Why the BabaCloudLogs 253 Leak Creates Immediate Account Risks

The combination of email, password, and URL in a single record is highly actionable for criminals. Credential stuffing attacks using data like this succeed because people tend to reuse the same password across many accounts. One exposed credential can unlock email, file storage, work systems, and banking in a single afternoon of automated testing.

Once an email account is compromised, the damage compounds quickly. An attacker with inbox access can intercept password reset emails, gain entry to connected accounts, and scrape personal and financial data. Identity theft and finantial fraud are common outcomes that often go undiscovered for weeks or months after the initial breach.

How the BabaCloudLogs 253 Infostealer Breach Happened

The BabaCloudLogs series represents batched collections of credentials stolen by infostealer malware from individual devices. Infostealer programs spread through channels that look legitimate: software cracks, game cheats, free utilities, and pirated media. Once a user runs the infected file, the malware installs quietly and begins recording login activity.

The malware captures credentials by hooking into browser processes, reading stored password databases, and recording keystrokes during authentication. All of it gets sent to an operator who bundles the results into numbered log collections, like BabaCloudLogs 253, and distributes them through Telegram channels. These channels sometimes have thousands of subscribers, meaning this data has likely been downlaoaded and used by many actors already.
