Check Your Email: RainLogsFree_11 Exposed 8,388 Passwords

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file, labeled RainLogsFree_11, that was uploaded to a public Telegram channel on December 20, 2022. The file contained 8,388 records pulled directly from malware-infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts those credentials unlock.

Why Plaintext Passwords From This Leak Are Dangerous

Unlike breaches where passwords are hashed or encrypted, this log contains credentials in plaintext. That means anyone who downloads the file can use the email and password pairs immediately, with no cracking or decryption required. Because the URLs were captured alongside each credential, an attacker knows exactly which site or service each password opens, making it far easier to log straight into a victim's account.

What Was Exposed in the RainLogsFree_11 Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the accounts and services accessed

Why This Matters for the 8,388 People Affected

When a password is captured in plaintext alongside the exact site it unlocks, the path from leak to account takeover is short. Attackers routinely feed these combinations into automated tools that attempt the same login across banking, email, and social media platforms, a technique known as credential stuffing. Anyone who reused this password elsewhere is exposed to identity theft and financial fraud well beyond the original account.

How a Stealer Log Like RainLogsFree_11 Gets Created

Stealer logs come from infostealer malware that infects a victim's device, often through phishing emails or malicious downloads, and quietly harvests saved browser passwords, autofill data, and session details. The malware bundles everything into a log file and sends it back to the attacker. In this case, that log was uploaded directly to a public Telegram channel with no obfuscation, meaning any user in that channel could pull the raw credentials right away.
