Researchers Link Cia.hinet.net Stealer Log to 2,148 Stolen Logins

HEROIC analysts researching dark web activity linked a stealer log dataset to cia.hinet.net after it was uploaded to a Telegram channel on June 10, 2026. The file contains 2,148 records pulled directly from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the login pages those credentials open. HiNet is a major Taiwanese internet provider, so the accounts in this file likely belong to customers using cia.hinet.net for email or account access.

Why This Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Researchers who examine stealer logs consistently find the same pattern: passwords stored in plaintext, matched precisely to the site they unlock. There is no cracking required and no ambiguity about where a credential works. Anyone who obtains this file can attempt to log directly into a cia.hinet.net account within moments.

What Was Exposed in the Cia.hinet.net Stealer Log

• Email addresses tied to infected devices
• Plaintext passwords for those accounts
• URLs identifying the exact login pages the credentials belong to

Why This Matters for the 2,148 People Affected

Internet provider accounts frequently connect to billing information and personal details. If any of these 2,148 people reused their password across other services, credential stuffing could expand the damage into email, banking, or shopping accounts as well. Account takeover and identity theft become realistic outcomes once a working plaintext password like this one is circulating.

How Stealer Logs Like This One Get Created

Stealer log malware infects devices through fake downloads, cracked software, or malicious attachments. Once active, it quietly harvests saved browser passwords, autofill entries, and session data, then compiles it all into a log file sent back to the attacker. These logs are routinely traded or dumped in Telegram channels, which is exactly where HEROIC analysts linked this dataset.

Check If You Are Affected

If you have a cia.hinet.net account, do not wait to see if researchers link your information to the next leak. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out quickly and take action.
