Dark Web Intel: 10,154 Credentials From the BHF FREE Telegram Dump

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file labeled BHF FREE after it was uploaded to a Telegram channel in November 2023. The dump exposed 10,154 records harvested from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs tied to internal resources and API hosts. The presence of endpoint and API host data alongside standard login credentials suggests some of the infected machines belonged to users with access to backend systems or development tools.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every password in this dump is stored in plaintext, meaning there is no cracking step needed before an attacker can use it. Anyone who downloaded the file could immediately begin testing the exposed email and password pairs against other services. The inclusion of internal URLs and API host data raises the stakes further, since it can point directly to systems beyond a single personal account.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses from infected devices
• Plaintext passwords with no encryption or hashing
• URLs including internal resources and API hosts
• 10,154 total records in the dump
• Data uploaded to Telegram on November 1, 2023

Why This Matters

Because this data was distributed for free, a wide pool of people had the opportunity to download and act on it before most of the affected users ever learned their credentials had been exposed. Stealer log files like this one typically get copied into other channels and folded into larger combolists used for automated credential stuffing attacks well after the original upload.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

A stealer log is produced by malware that infects a device, usually through phishing emails, cracked software, or malicious browser extensions, and then silently harvests everything saved in the browser: passwords, autofill data, cookies, and visited URLs. The malware packages this data into a structured log file and sends it back to the attacker, who then shares or sells it on Telegram channels and underground forums where anyone can download it.
