The Badoo.it Leak: 1,244 Passwords Exposed. Yours Might Be One.

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log tied to badoo.it that a Telegram user uploaded on 10 June 2026. The file contained 1,244 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the login page that password was used on.

Why This Is Dangerous

This exposure is not the result of badoo.it being hacked directly. It comes from infostealer malware that was already running on infected devices, quietly recording login details as people entered them. Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, they can be read instantly, with no cracking or decryption needed. Combined with the URL each credential was captured on, an attacker knows exactly which account each password unlocks.

What Was Exposed

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

Why This Matters

Dating and social apps often hold personal information people would rather keep private, which makes a leak like this one especially sensitive if the password was reused elsewhere. Attackers take stolen credentials and run them against email, banking, and social media accounts through credential stuffing. A single successful match can lead to account takeover, opening the door to identity theft or financial fraud.

How Stealer Logs Work

Infostealer malware infects a device through a malicious download, phishing link, or infected attachment, then quietly copies saved passwords, autofill entries, and session cookies from the browser. That stolen information is packaged into a log file and sent back to the attacker, often within hours of infection. These logs then circulate on Telegram channels and dark web forums, which is how this badoo.it related file came to light.

Check If You Are Affected

If you have a badoo.it account or reuse passwords across multiple sites, it is worth checking whether your information is part of this exposure. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records so you can find out and change any exposed password right away.
