BabaCloudLogs Stealer Log: 22,479 Plaintext Passwords Leaked on Telegram

HEROIC analysts discovered a stealer log upload on a public Telegram channel on May 16, 2025. The file, shared by an anonymous Telegram user under the label "BabaCloudLogs 275 Cloud Logs 16.05.2025 2," contained 22,479 records harvested from compromised endpoints. The exposed data includes plaintext passwords, email adresses, and the URLs associated with those credentials -- making this a highly actionable dataset for cybercriminals.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer logs are not just leaked lists. They are ready-to-use attack kits. Because the passwords in this dataset are stored in plaintxt form, anyone who downloads this file can immediately attempt to log in to accounts without any cracking or decryption. The URLs reveal exactly which websites and services were targeted, so attackers know precisely where to try each stolen credential. Combined with the matching email address, this gives threat actors a direct path into email inboxes, cloud accounts, banking portals, and more.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (the specific websites and services tied to each credential)

Why This Matters

When plaintext passwords leak alongside the sites they belong to, the damage goes far beyond one account. Most people reuse passwords acros multiple services. Attackers know this and run automated tools that try the same email and password combination on dozens of platforms simultaneously. This is called credential stuffing. A single stealer log entry can result in account takeovers on social media, email, banking, and shopping sites all at once. Identity theft and financial fraud follow quickly once an attacker controls even one primary email account.

How Stealer Logs Work

Infostealer malware is typically installed on a victim's computer through a malicious download, a phishing link, or a cracked software installer. Once running, the malware silently scans the device for saved browser passwords, cookies, and login sessions. It packages everything it finds into a compressed log file and sends it to the attacker's server. The attacker then sorts these logs by type and uploads them to Telegram channels or dark web forums where others can download and exploit the data. Victims rarely know their credentials have been stolen until an account is compromised.
