BabaCloudLogs 450 Exposed 20,948 Credentials in Telegram Stealer Dump

HEROIC analysts detected a stealer log upload to a public Telegram channel on May 19, 2025, attributed to a user distributing files under the BabaCloudLogs label. The log file contained 20,948 records pulled from compromised endpoint devices, with each record containing an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the targeted service. The naming convention and log format are consistent with organized stealer log operations that regularly push batches of stolen credentials to Telegram for free distribution or resale.

Why This Is Dangerous

This leak hands attackers a complete picture: the login address, the service URL, and an unencrypted password. There is no cracking required. Someone who downloads this file could be testing your credentials against live services within the hour. Cloud logins are particuarly prized because they often grant access to shared drives, company email, and billing systems all in one place. The more services you use the same password across, the worse the damage becomes.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (service login endpoints)

Why This Matters

Stolen credentials from stealer logs are used in a predictable chain of attacks. With access to your email and password, criminals can:

• Run credential stuffing campaigns against banking, shopping, and social media platforms using automated tools
• Take over email accounts and use them as a master key to reset passwords elsewhere
• Steal your identity by combining your email with other data points from leaked records to open credit lines or file fraudulent claims
• Commit financial fraud through stored payment methods, gift card purchases, or unauthorized transfers
• Resell your credentials repeatidly on dark web forums, meaning multiple criminals may have access simultaneously

How Stealer Logs Work

Infostealer malware is designed to be invisible. It often arrives disguised as a free tool, a game mod, or a cracked application. Once installed, it waits quietly while you go about your day, logging every password you type, copying credentials saved in your browser, and grabbing session tokens that keep you logged into websites. Everything it collects is compressed into a log file and sent silently to the attacker's server. The attacker then sorts these logs by credential type, service category, or geography and sells or shares them in batches, exactly as seen in this Telegram upload.
