Our Analysts Found the cbexchange.com 1,986 Emails Leak on Telegram

What HEROIC Analysts Found in the cbexchange.com Combolist In June 2026, HEROIC analysts found a combolist labeled "cbexchange.com - 1.986 emails" uploaded to Telegram on June 10, 2026. The file contained 1,986 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs where each login was used. The naming of the file suggests the credentials are tied to accounts associated with the cbexchange.com domain, though a combolist can also mix in logins gathered from other sources. Why the cbexchange.com Leak Is Dangerous The danger here comes from how usable this data already is. The passwords are in plaintext, so no cracking is needed, and the accompanying URLs point attackers directly to where each credential is meant to be used. Anyone who obtains this file can start testing logins immediately, without needing any special technical skill. What Was Exposed in This 1,986 Record Leak Email addresses Plaintext passwords URLs linking each login to its source Why This Matters for the 1,986 People Affected A leak of this size can still cause serious harm to the individuals in it. Attackers commonly run leaked email and password pairs through credential stuffing tools that try the same combination on other popular sites, since password reuse is common. If someone in this leak used their cbexchange.com password anywhere else, that account, along with any banking or email account tied to it, is now at risk of takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft. How a Combolist Like This Gets Assembled A combolist is a plain text file of paired usernames or emails and passwords, usually gathered from smaller breaches, phishing pages, or infected devices and compiled under a descriptive label like the one used here. Because these files require no decryption or technical processing, they circulate quickly and cheaply on Telegram channels, where they get picked up by anyone looking for a fast, low-effort way to test stolen credentials. Check If You Are Affected If you have ever used cbexchange.com or a similar service, it's worth checking whether your email address appears in this leak. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one, and tells you right away if you've been exposed. If you find a match, change that password immediately and avoid reusing it on other accounts.
