Our Analysts Found the cloud temshik Logs Circulating on Telegram
HEROIC's threat intelligence team monitors private Telegram channels where stolen data is shared and sold. In the course of this work, analysts identified the cloud temshik Logs 02.05 file -- a stealer log collection containing 21,834 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts they unlock. The file was uploaded by an anonymous Telegram user and had been circulaiting among multiple groups before our team flagged it. If your credentials are in this dump, they have been accessible to cybercriminals for over two years.
Why This Is Dangerous
A collection of 21,834 credential pairs is a substantial toolkit for attackers. Unlike hashed passwords that require cracking, the cloud temshik Logs contain plaintext data -- meaning every record is immediately actionable. Threat actors who obtain files like this typically feed them into automated credential-stuffing tools that attempt logins across banking, email, e-commerce, and social media platforms within hours of acquisition. The scale of this dump -- over 21,000 records -- means the potential damage extends across thousands of real people's accounts.
What Was Exposed
- Email Addresses -- the login identifier for virtually every online account
- Plaintext Passwords -- captured by malware before any encryption could protect them
- URLs -- providing attackers with a precise map of which sites each credential accesses
Why This Matters
The cloud temshik Logs date to May 2023, which means this data has been in criminal circulation for more than two years. Files like this are rarely used once and discarded -- they are traded, bundled with other leaks, and resold repeatedley across dark web markets. Every time the data changes hands, a new set of attackers gains the ability to attempt unauthorized access to the accounts it represents. If any of the 21,834 affected users have not changed their passwords since the leak, those accounts remain at risk today.
How Stealer Log Attacks Work
The data in the cloud temshik Logs was collected by stealer malware running on victims' devices. This type of malware -- delivered via phishing, pirated software, or malicious browser extensions -- silently monitors everything a user types and auto-fills. Credentials are extracted from browsers, password managers, and application logins. The malware packages these into structured log files and transmits them to a server controlled by the attacker, who then sells or distributes them through channels like Telegram. The "02.05" designation in the filename likely refers to the date (May 2, 2023) the logs were compiled or uploaded.
