Dark Web Intel: 22,823 Credentials From the BRADMAX 900 FEB Telegram Dump

BRADMAX 900 FEB: 22,823 Stolen Credentials Identified by HEROIC Analysts

In March 2026, HEROIC analysts catalogued a stealer log file uploaded to Telegram under the name BRADMAX 900 FEB. The file contained 22,823 records harvested from compromised U.S.-based endpoints, each including an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL the credential was stolen from. The BRADMAX label and the "900 FEB" designation suggest a structured distribution operation, where the operator packages and releases logs in numbered batches with volume markers.

At over 22,000 records, this is a substantial dump. The combination of scale, plaintext passwords, and URL context makes it a high-utility file for anyone looking to launch targeted account takeover attacks.

What Makes BRADMAX 900 FEB a High-Priority Threat

The threat posed by this dump is not hypothetical. Stealer logs with plaintext passwords and associated URLs give attackers a ready-made targeting list. There is no need to crack passwords, guess login pages, or test credentials across platforms at random. The attacker already knows which site each credential belongs to and can use it immediately.

With 22,823 records in play, even a small percentage of still-valid credentials translates to hundreds of successful account takeovers. Financial accounts, email inboxes, and business platforms are all potentialy at risk depending on what URLs are present in the dataset.

What Was Exposed in the BRADMAX 900 FEB Dump

• Email Addresses: Login emails for each of the 22,823 compromised accounts
• Plaintext Passwords: Fully readable, unencrypted passwords ready for immediate use
• URLs: The exact websites and services each stolen credential was linked to

Why This Matters: From Credential Theft to Real-World Harm

A stolen email and password combination is the starting point, not the end point, of an attack. Once inside an account, an attacker can change the recovery email and password to lock the original owner out, access financial instruments tied to the account, harvest contacts for phishing campaigns, and use trusted access to impersonate the victim to others.

When URLs are included, attackers can prioritize high-value targets. An email account credential can be used to reset passwords on every other service the victim uses. A banking credential can lead directly to financial fraud. The cascading potential of a single stolen login is significant, and this dump contains over 22,000 of them.

How BRADMAX-Style Stealer Logs Are Built and Distributed

Stealer log operators like BRADMAX typically run Telegram channels where they build a subscriber base by offering free credential samples. The "900 FEB" tag likely refers to a batch size or a February collection date, suggesting the operator releases new batches regularly to keep subscribers engaged and establish credibility in underground markets.

The underlying data is collected by stealer malware deployed on victim devices. The malware harvests browser-stored credentials and session data, packages it into structured log files, and sends it to the operator's collection infrastructure. The operator then curates and distributes the logs, labeling them by volume or date to signal freshness and quantity to potential subscribers.

Because the infection occurs on individual devices rather than on a company's servers, victims recieve no breach notification and have no way of knowing their data was taken unless they actively search for it. That is what makes stealer log dumps so persistantly dangerous: the victim rarely finds out on their own.
