Identity Theft Risk Rises After the BabaCloudLogs Leak: 22,753 Exposed

The BabaCloudLogs Stealer Log: 22,753 Records Exposed

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log dataset called BabaCloudLogs that was uploaded by a Telegram user on September 1, 2025. The file contained 22,753 records, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the services those credentials unlock. This data was harvested directly from infected devices, not pulled from a company database, meaning every credential inside it was captured as someone actually typed it in.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this leak are stored in plaintext, no cracking or decryption is required to use them. An attacker can pair each email with its password and its matching URL, then try that same combination on other popular sites. If anyone among the 22,753 people in this dataset reused a password elsewhere, that other account is exposed too, raising the risk of identity theft for anyone whose accounts hold personal or financial details.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages

Why This Matters

Stolen email and password pairs like these feed directly into credential stuffing attacks, where automated tools test the same login across many websites in seconds. For the people in this dataset, that means a real risk of account takeover on email, shopping, or financial accounts, and from there, a path to identity theft or fraud if personal details are exposed along the way.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is produced by malware that infects a device and silently copies saved passwords, browser autofill data, and active login sessions before sending everything back to the attacker. The BabaCloudLogs file matches this pattern: email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs, bundled together and shared through Telegram, a common channel for distributing stolen credential data.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one. If your information turns up, HEROIC can help you change the exposed passwords before anyone else uses them.
