The BabaCloudLogs Stealer Log Exposed 9,735 U.S. Accounts

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log named BabaCloudLogs uploaded to a Telegram channel on September 11, 2025. The file contained 9,735 records tied to U.S. accounts, each one pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL that password unlocks. Nearly 10,000 working logins sat in a single file anyone in the channel could download.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords are stored in plaintext, no cracking or guessing is needed to use them. Anyone with this file can read each password directly, match it to the exact site it belongs to, and attempt to log in right away. That removes the one obstacle, encryption, that would normally slow an attacker down.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each set of credentials

Why This Matters

Datasets like BabaCloudLogs are exactly what fuels credential stuffing, where attackers take stolen email and password pairs and run them against banks, email providers, and online stores. If any of the 9,735 people in this leak reused their password elsewhere, that single reused password can open the door to account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud well beyond the original login it was stolen from.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is created by infostealer malware that infects a device through a fake download, cracked software, or a phishing link. Once running, it quietly copies saved passwords, autofill data, and browsing details from the device, then bundles everything into a single file. That file, named BabaCloudLogs, was then uploaded to a Telegram channel, giving anyone with access instant use of the 9,735 credential sets inside.
