The baker.edu Leak Gave Attackers 776 Working Email Logins

In June 2026, HEROIC analysts found a small combolist circulating on Telegram tied to the baker.edu domain, containing 776 records of email addresses paired with plaintext passwords and the URLs they were used on. While modest in size, a list this specific is valuable to attackers because every record points to a real account tied to a single organization. Why this is dangerous: a combolist built around one domain like baker.edu gives an attacker a focused target list rather than a random grab bag of emails. Because the passwords are stored in plaintext, no cracking is needed, an attacker can try each of the 776 credentials directly against email, school, or other online accounts tied to that address. What was exposed in the baker.edu combolist: baker.edu email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts each login was used on. Why this matters: even a small list of 776 credentials can cause outsized damage if people on it reused their password across other sites. Attackers use lists like this for credential stuffing, testing the same email and password combination against banking, shopping, and social media sites. A single successful login can lead to account takeover, identity theft, or fraud committed in the victim's name. How a combolist like this one comes together: combolists are compiled lists of stolen email and password pairs, often assembled from older data leaks, phishing pages, or malware-infected computers and repackaged for distribution. This one appears to have been filtered down to accounts tied specifically to baker.edu before being uploaded to a Telegram channel, a common tactic that lets buyers or other criminals target a specific organization or community instead of sorting through unrelated data. Check if you are affected: if you have ever used a baker.edu email address, it's worth checking whether your information appears in this leak or any other. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records to show you your exposure and help you secure any account that may be at risk.
