Our Analysts Found the BRADMAX 1000 NOV Log Circulating on Telegram

In December 2025, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file that had been uploaded to a Telegram channel under the name BRADMAX 1000 NOV. The file contained 23,028 records harvested from compromised machines in the United States. Each record included an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the site where that login was captured, giving anyone who accessed the file everything needed to attempt unauthorized account access.

The "1000 NOV" portion of the filename points to a batch tied to November, suggesting this data was collected across roughly a thousand infected machines during that month and then packaged and released in December. The timing matters because recently collected credentials are far more likely to still be valid.

What HEROIC Found in the BRADMAX 1000 NOV Dataset

• Email addresses linked to real user accounts
• Plaintext passwords requiring no cracking or decryption
• URLs identifying the specific platforms each credential belongs to

Why Freshly Harvested Credentials Are the Most Dangerous Kind

Older breach data often contains outdated passwords that victims have already changed. Stealer logs labeled with recent months, like this November batch, are valued in underground markets precisely because the credentials tend to still work. An attacker can test these logins immediately after obtaining the file without waiting for anything to be cracked or processed.

With a matching email, password, and URL in hand, attackers can attempt to log into the exact account the credentials came from. From there, they frequently pivot to other services by using the compromised email inbox to request password resets. This sequence can expose finacial accounts, personal communications, and cloud storage in a matter of minutes. Credential stuffing and account takeover are the most common outcomes, often followed by identity-related fraud.

How the BRADMAX Stealer Log Came to Exist

BRADMAX appears to be the identifier for a Telegram channel or malware operation that regularly distributes credential logs. The malware behind these logs infects devices silently, often through phishing links or bundled software downloads. Once running on a victim's machine, it reads saved browser passwords, session cookies, and form-fill data, then transmits everything to the operator as a structured log file.

These logs are then posted or sold in private Telegram channels, sometimes for free as a way to build reputation in underground communities. The November naming convention sugests this was a scheduled release, with more batches likely having been distributed before and after this one. Each record in the dataset represents a real person whose device was silently comprmised.
