The Bigfoot.de Leak Exposed 2,207 German Email Accounts

On June 10, 2026, HEROIC analysts found a small combolist uploaded to Telegram containing 2,207 records tied to Bigfoot.de, a German email service. Each record paired an email address with a plaintext password and the URL the credentials were tied to. Why This Is Dangerous: Because the passwords were stored in plaintext, they are immediately usable by anyone who gets hold of the file, with no encryption to break. Combined with the matching email address, an attacker can attempt to log directly into the account or try the same combination on other websites. What Was Exposed: The file contains email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs tied to each login. Why This Matters: A leak of 2,207 accounts may look small next to headline-grabbing breaches, but each one belongs to a real person who may have reused that email and password elsewhere. Criminals rely on exactly this kind of smaller, overlooked file to run credential stuffing attacks against banking, shopping, and social accounts. How This Combolist Was Likely Built: Files like this are typically stitched together from older breaches, phishing kits, or malware logs, then filtered down to a specific domain, in this case Bigfoot.de, before being uploaded to Telegram. Check If You're Affected: If you have a Bigfoot.de account or reuse passwords across sites, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records so you can see what's exposed and change any reused passwords right away.
