802 Plaintext Passwords From the Berserk Private Telegram Dump

HEROIC analysts found a combolist called "Berserk Private" that a Telegram user uploaded on October 17, 2025. The file contains 802 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs where each credential pair was meant to be used. Every password is stored without encryption, meaning it can be used the moment someone downloads the file.

Why This Is Dangerous

802 plaintext passwords is more than enough for an attacker to run automated login attempts across dozens of sites in a matter of minutes. There is no barrier between the stolen data and a working login. If any of the affected users reused their password elsewhere, those accounts are exposed as well.

What Was Exposed in the Berserk Private Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each credential pair

Why This Matters

Combolists like Berserk Private are the fuel behind credential stuffing attacks, where attackers use automated software to test stolen email and password combinations against banking, email, and social media platforms. Since password reuse is common, one exposed credential can spread into multiple compromised accounts, leading to identity theft and financial fraud.

How a Combolist Leak Works

A combolist is a compiled file pairing usernames or emails with passwords, generally sourced from older breaches, phishing operations, or malware that harvests saved browser credentials. Putting one together doesn't require breaching a specific company's systems. It only takes someone assembling and distributing credentials that already exist, which is how the Berserk Private file ended up on Telegram.

Check If You Are Affected

Don't wait to find out the hard way. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one, so you can quickly confirm whether your credentials were exposed and secure your accounts.
