The choco.la Leak: 13,313 Passwords Exposed. Yours Might Be One.

A Stealer Log Tied to choco.la Surfaced on Telegram

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file dated 10-Jun-2026 that was uploaded to a Telegram channel by an individual user. The file contained 13,313 records connected to choco.la, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the login pages where those credentials were entered. Because the passwords were stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains the file can use the logins right away without cracking anything.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer logs are collected by infostealer malware running quietly on an infected device, which copies saved browser logins and sends them back to whoever controls the malware. Because each record pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the exact site it was used on, an attacker can log in directly. If the same password shows up on other accounts, they can try it there too.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the sites the credentials were used on

Why This Matters

Over 13,000 plaintext credential pairs in a single file is a serious problem, because it hands attackers working logins instead of data that has to be decoded first. This is exactly what fuels credential stuffing, where stolen email and password combinations are tested automatically against banking sites, email providers, and online stores. Anyone reusing this password elsewhere faces a real risk of account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs are the output of infostealer malware, malicious software designed to quietly harvest credentials and browsing data saved in a victim's web browser. Once collected, the malware operator bundles the data into a log file and shares or sells it through Telegram channels and dark web marketplaces, which is exactly how this choco.la data was found. Because the credentials come straight from the victim's own device, they tend to still be valid, which is what makes stealer logs so useful to criminals.

Check If You Are Affected

If you have ever logged into choco.la or a similar site, it is worth checking whether your details appear in this or another leak. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can quickly find out whether your email address or passwords have been exposed and act before an attacker does.
