One Dark Web Listing: the EWETEL.NET Combolist Held 5,431 Logins

HEROIC analysts found a dataset labeled "COMBOLIST EWETEL.NET," uploaded to a Telegram channel on May 10, 2025. The file contains 5,431 records made up of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the sites those credentials were used on, referencing the ewetel.net domain in its naming.

Why This Is Dangerous

A combolist strips everything down to the essentials an attacker actually needs: a username or email, its matching password, and the site it works on. There's no encryption to break and no extra data to sift through. Anyone who gets a copy of this list can immediately start testing the credentials against the listed sites and against other popular services, since the format is built for speed and volume.

What Was Exposed

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

Why This Matters

Because the passwords are plaintext and paired with working login URLs, the 5,431 people in this dataset are exposed to immediate account takeover on those specific services. If any of them reused their password across other accounts, such as email, banking, or social platforms, attackers can run automated credential stuffing to see where else it works, multiplying the impact of a single leaked password.

How Stealer Logs Work

This combolist was built from stealer log data, meaning it traces back to infostealer malware that infected victims' devices, often through phishing links, cracked software, or malicious downloads. The malware silently collects saved passwords and login sessions from the browser, and criminals then compile and reformat that raw data into a clean combolist like this one before distributing it through Telegram for other attackers to use directly.

Check If You Are Affected

Combolists like this one circulate quietly until someone puts them to use, so it pays to check proactively. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion exposed records to tell you instantly whether your email or password has surfaced.
