The CloudyTeamLogs Leak: 35,316 Passwords Exposed. Yours Might Be One.

In June 2025, HEROIC's DarkHive analysts discovered a stealer log file posted on Telegram by a group calling themselves CloudyTeamLogs. The file contained 35,316 stolen records, each one holding a plaintext password, an email address, and the URL of the website where those credentials were entered. The data was shared openly and for free, making it accessable to virtually anyone with a Telegram account and bad intentions.

Why 35,000 Plaintext Passwords Are a Serious Problem

Plaintext passwords are the worst case scenario in a data breach. Unlike hashed or encrypted credentials that require time and computing power to crack, plaintext passwords are ready to use the moment someone downloads the file. Attackers can immediately log into accounts, change passwords, and lock the real owner out. With 35,316 records in this dump, that is tens of thousands of people who may have already lost control of at least one online account without even knowing it.

What Was Exposed in the CloudyTeamLogs Dump

• Email Addresses: Full email accounts used as login identifiers across various platforms
• Plaintext Passwords: Unencrypted, fully readable passwords stored exactly as the victim typed them
• URLs: Direct links to the websites and services where each credential was captured

The Real Risk: Credential Stuffing and Account Takeover

Most people use the same password for more than one account. Attackers know this, and they exploit it through a technique called credential stuffing. They take the email and password pairs from this CloudyTeamLogs dump and run them against banking sites, email providers, shopping platforms, and social media networks using automated software. A single match can cascade into full identity theft, where an attacker gains control of your email, resets passwords on your other accounts, and drains financial resources. The URLs in this leak make the process even more efficent because attackers already know exactly where to start.

How Stealer Log Malware Captures Your Data

Stealer logs come from a type of malware called an infostealer. These programs are typically spread through fake software downloads, phishing emails, or malicious ads. Once the malware lands on your device, it quietly records your keystrokes, copies saved passwords from your browser, and logs every website you visit. The collected data gets bundled into a log file and transmitted back to the attacker. Groups like CloudyTeamLogs then distribute these files on Telegram channels, where they reach thousands of other criminals in hours. The entire chain from infection to exposure can happen without you noticeing anything unusual on your device.
