How the Cloud_Rolex_2 Stealer Log Led to 26,314 Stolen Logins

On January 25, 2026, a Telegram user uploaded a file called Cloud_Rolex_2 to an underground channel, releasing 26,314 stolen credential records to anyone who wanted them. The log contained plaintext passwords, email adresses, and the specific URLs of the services victims had been logged into. This is not abstract risk. These are real accounts, real passwords, and a roadmap for attackers to walk straight into them. The file was distributed within hours of posting across additional forums and channels, multiplying the number of threat actors with access to it.

Why This Is Dangerous

At 26,314 records, this is a sizable credential dump. The most alarming detail is that the passwords are stored in plaintext, meaning no decryption is needed. An attacker downloads the file, loads it into a credential stuffing tool, and begins testing against Gmail, Outlook, banking apps, and whatever else the URLs in the log point to. Because people reuse passwords across services, a single entry in this log can unlock multiple accounts. The breach also took place in late January, giving attackers weeks of undetected access before most victims would ever know to look.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (specific endpoints and services accessed by compromised accounts)

Why This Matters

The Cloud_Rolex_2 leak is part of a pattern. Researchers have documented a rising volume of stealer log uploads to Telegram throughout 2025 and 2026, driven by the widespread availability of cheap, easy-to-deploy information-stealing malware. Each log file represents hundreds or thousands of real people whose devices were silently compromised. Once a log is posted publicly, it never disapears entirely. It gets archived, shared, and sold in new forums indefinitely. Victims who do not act quickly face an ongoing risk that compounds over time as their credentials circulate further.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

The Cloud_Rolex_2 log was generated by information-stealing malware installed on victims' devices. This malware category is designed to run invisibly while the user goes about their normal activity. It hooks into browsers and applications, intercepting credentials as they are entered. Every time the victim logs into a website, the malware records the email or username, the password, and the URL. Those records accumulate into a log file that is sent to the attacker's server at regular intervals. The attacker then sorts, packages, and distributes these logs, often branding them with names like Cloud_Rolex to identify the batch or the campaign that generated them.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC maintains a breach database of more than 400 billion records, including stealer logs like Cloud_Rolex_2. You can search your email address for free to find out immediately whether your credentials appear in this or any other known data leak. If your email shows up, change every password associated with that email account right now and enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible. The longer you wait, the more time attackers have to use your credentials. Run your search at HEROIC today.
