What Is a Stealer Log? Charter.net Leak Exposes 847 Records

What HEROIC Analysts Found

On 15-Jul-2026, HEROIC's dark web monitoring team identified a stealer log posted to Telegram under the name "872_charter.net_KRDCLOUD uploaded by a Telegram User." The file, referencing Charter.net accounts, contained 847 records, each combining an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the site that login was captured on.

Why This Charter.net Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Because the password in every record is stored in plaintext and paired with the exact website it unlocks, there's no cracking or guesswork required for an attacker to use it. Anyone who gets hold of this 847-record file can simply try each email and password combination against the listed site and gain access if the credentials still work.

What Was Exposed in This Leak

• Email addresses tied to Charter.net-linked accounts
• Plaintext passwords captured directly from infected devices
• URLs showing exactly which websites each login unlocks

Why This Matters for Affected Users

With 847 working credential pairs now circulating, this leak is well suited to credential stuffing, where attackers automatically test stolen logins across other sites. Anyone whose information appears here faces a real risk of account takeover, particularly if they've reused their Charter.net password on other accounts.

What Is a Stealer Log, Exactly?

A stealer log is the file that infostealer malware produces after infecting a device, typically through a fake download, cracked software, or a malicious attachment. Once installed, the malware quietly copies every saved password, cookie, and autofill entry stored in the browser, and criminals then package that stolen information, exactly like this 847-record Charter.net file, and sell or share it on Telegram channels.

Check If You Are Affected

Understanding what a stealer log is matters less than knowing whether you're in one. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can check your email in seconds and change any exposed passwords before someone else uses them.
