The Chile 6 Combolist: 184,252 Stolen Login Credentials Surface

CHILE 6 Combolist: 184,252 Records Traced to a Telegram Upload

HEROIC analysts traced a combolist file named "CHILE 6" to a Telegram upload from May 2023. The file contained 184,252 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL the credential was tied to, one of the largest single combolists HEROIC has tracked from this channel.

Why This Is Dangerous

A file of this size means a huge number of working email and password pairs are available to anyone who downloads it, with no encryption to slow them down since the passwords are stored in plaintext. An attacker can load all 184,252 records into an automated tool and attempt logins across many different sites within minutes, turning a single download into a large-scale attack.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs

Why This Matters

The sheer scale of this combolist makes it especially attractive for credential stuffing, where attackers test each pair against banking sites, email providers, and social media platforms hoping the password was reused. With 184,252 records in play, the odds are high that a meaningful number of people will suffer account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft if they used the same password anywhere else.

How Combolists Work

A combolist is a plain text file that lines up stolen usernames or email addresses with matching passwords, typically gathered from older breaches, phishing campaigns, or malware and then bundled together for resale or free distribution. Large combolists like CHILE 6 are often compiled from several smaller sources over time, then released as one file so buyers get more value, and because the format is built for automation, these lists spread fast once shared on Telegram.

Check If You Are Affected

Given the size of this leak, it is worth taking a moment to check whether your email address is included. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one, so you can find out quickly and change any exposed password before someone else uses it.
