118 Files, 7,878 Passwords: Inside the Baset_cloud Leak

Inside the Baset_cloud Stealer Log

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file labeled "baset_cloud 118count" uploaded to a public Telegram channel on June 10, 2025. The file was organized into 118 pieces and held 7,878 records in total, each one pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the service that credential unlocks. This was not a breach disclosed by any company. It was a batch of stolen logins pulled from infected devices and packaged for anyone in the channel to download.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every password in this file sits in plaintext, so there is no encryption standing between an attacker and a working login. Because each record also includes the exact URL the credential belongs to, an attacker never has to guess where to try it. They can go straight to the listed site, enter the email and password exactly as captured, and be logged in within seconds.

What Was Exposed in the Baset_cloud File

• Email addresses tied to compromised accounts
• Plaintext passwords with no hashing or encryption
• URLs identifying the exact service each login belongs to

Why This Matters for 7,878 Accounts

Because so many people reuse the same password across multiple accounts, a leak like this one can reach far beyond the sites where the credentials were originally stolen. Attackers feed files like baset_cloud into automated credential stuffing tools, testing each email and password pair against banking sites, email providers, and social platforms. If any of the 7,878 credentials in this file were reused elsewhere, those other accounts are now exposed to takeover, fraud, or identity theft.

How a Stealer Log Like Baset_cloud Gets Built

Stealer malware infects a device through a fake download, a cracked program, or a malicious attachment, then quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill entries, and session data before sending it back to the attacker. Once enough infections accumulate, the results are organized into files, like the 118 in this log, and bundled together for distribution on Telegram, where buyers and sellers of stolen data operate in the open.
