BabaCloudLogs 333 Gives Attackers 13,457 Passwords to Exploit

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file uploaded to a public Telegram channel on May 22, 2025. The file was labeled "BabaCloudLogs 333 Cloud Logs" and posted by an anonymous user. It contained 13,457 records pulled directly from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts those credentials belong to. This is a large, immediately usable credential dump that attackers can exploit without any additional processing.

Why This Is Dangerous

With 13,457 sets of working email-and-password pairs, an attacker can run automated login attempts across banks, shopping sites, email providers, and corporate tools within hours. Plaintext passwords require no cracking, so the time between theft and account takeover is measured in minites, not days. Any account sharing a password with one in this file is at immediate risk.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs (service endpoints and API hosts linked to each credential)

Why This Matters

Credential stuffing attacks powered by logs like this one can lead to full account takeover, unauthorized purchases, identity theft, and access to connected workplace systems. Once a Telegram channel shares a file of this kind, it quickly circulates through criminal networks, multiplying the number of attackers who can exploit it. Every day an affected password goes unchanged increases the window of opportunity for fraud and data theft.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer malware arrives on a victim's device through phishing emails, pirated software, or malicious browser extensions. Once installed, it silently harvests saved passwords from browsers, email clients, and desktop applications. The malware also records the URLs and API hosts associated with each credential, creating a map of the victim's online accounts. All of this data is packaged into a log file and transmitted to the attacker, who can then use it directly or sell it to other criminals on underground forums and Telegram channels.
