Check Now: TOR_LOG MIX 266PCS Leaked 11,261 Passwords

On April 14, 2024, a Telegram user uploaded a stealer log named TOR_LOG MIX 266PCS. Before you assume this does not apply to you, check your email address against it. HEROIC analysts found 11,261 records inside: email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs each password unlocked, all pulled from 266 infected machines and merged into a single file.

Check Yourself Before You Assume You're Safe

The honest answer is that you cannot tell just by thinking about it whether your credentials are in this file. Stealer malware infects machines silently, through cracked software, fake ad downloads, and phishing links, and it never announces itself. If one of the 266 infected devices belonged to you, or to someone who shared a saved login with you, your email and password are sitting in plaintext inside TOR_LOG MIX 266PCS right now. The only way to know for sure is to check.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs (the specific sites each credential was used on)

Why This Matters

Eleven thousand two hundred sixty-one plaintext passwords is not a small number, and every one of them was working the day the malware captured it. Attackers do not need to crack anything here; they can log in immediately using the exact credentials this file contains. If you reuse passwords across accounts, a single exposed login in TOR_LOG MIX 266PCS can open the door to your email, your banking, or any other service that shares that password.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

Infostealer malware runs on an infected device and copies every password saved in the browser, along with active login sessions, then transmits the haul to a Telegram bot within minutes. The attacker collects logs from many infected machines and merges them into one file, in this case combining 266 separate infections into TOR_LOG MIX 266PCS before posting it publicly. There is no alert, no slowdown, and no warning to the victim; the first sign of trouble is usually an unauthorized login somewhere else.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC's free scanner checks your email address against more than 400 billion exposed records, including stealer log dumps like TOR_LOG MIX 266PCS.
