BabaUlpNew Breach: Remote Workers and Freelancers Hit

In October 2025, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log named "BabaUlpNew" uploaded to a Telegram channel by an anonymous user. The file contained 69,610 exposed records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the login URL it unlocked. Logs like this are usually harvested indiscriminately, meaning the victims range from everyday consumers to small business owners who simply had the bad luck of picking up malware.

Why This BabaUlpNew Leak Is Dangerous

Because the passwords sit in plaintext right next to the site they belong to, there is no barrier between the data and misuse. Anyone who downloads this file can start logging into accounts immediately, without needing any technical skill to crack or decode anything.

What Was Exposed in This Stealer Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated login URLs

Who Is Targeted by a Leak Like This

Stealer logs don't discriminate by industry or income. They typically capture whoever happened to have an infected device at the time, which means this file likely includes a mix of remote workers, students, freelancers, and casual internet users. Anyone who downloaded a cracked program, clicked a bad link, or opened a shady attachment around the time of infection could be swept up in a leak like this one.

Why This Matters Regardless of Who You Are

Once credentials like these are public, attackers run them through credential stuffing tools that test the same email and password across dozens of other sites. If a password was reused anywhere, the consequences can escalate quickly to account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft, no matter who the original victim was.

How Stealer Log Breaches Happen

This type of breach starts with info-stealing malware slipping onto a device through a fake download, pirated software, or a phishing attachment. The malware then quietly harvests saved browser passwords and packages them into a log file like BabaUlpNew, which gets shared or sold in Telegram groups shortly after.

Check If You Are Affected

Whether you fit the profile of a typical victim or not, it only takes a moment to check. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a datebase of over 400 billion compromised records so you can confirm right away if your email or password has been exposed.
