137K Iranian Credentials Exposed in CrackingSpace.com Combolist

HEROIC's DarkHive intelligence system discovered the Combolist Iran From CrackingSpace.com breach, exposing 137,849 records compiled from Iranian user credentials and distributed through the cracking community website CrackingSpace.com. This dataset represents a combolist format, meaning it aggregates usernames and email addresses sourced from multiple underlying breaches and then packaged for use in automated attack campaigns. The exposure of over 137,000 records tied to Iranian internet users creates targeted phishing and account takeover opportunities that extend well beyond the original source platforms.

Why This Is Dangerous

Combolists targeting specific geographic regions allow attackers to conduct highly focused credential stuffing campaigns against regional services, banks, government portals, and telecommunications platforms used predominantly in that country. A combolist distributed through a cracking-focused community like CrackingSpace.com is specifically designed to facilitate unauthorized access to accounts, meaning the people who obtained this data had clear malicious intent. The regional targeting of Iran means affected users face risk from both financially motivated cybercriminals and potentially politically motivated actors interested in Iranian online communities.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses and Usernames (compiled from multiple sources)

Why This Matters

Combolists are among the most operationally dangerous forms of leaked data because they have already been curated and formatted for use in automated attack tools. Unlike a single-site database breach, a combolist aggregates credentials across multiple services, meaning each entry has already been selected for its potential usefulness in credential stuffing campaigns. The 137,849 records from this Iranian-focused combolist expose a large number of individuals to targeted phishing attacks, account takeovers, and identity-related fraud that can persist for years as the data continues to be traded and reused across underground markets.

How Combolists Work

A combolist is a curated collection of username and password combinations, or email addresses, compiled from multiple data breaches and aggregated into a single file optimized for use in automated login attacks. Threat actors build combolists by sourcing credentials from dozens or hundreds of individual site breaches and then organizing them by region, email domain, or other targeting criteria. Cracking communities like CrackingSpace.com specialize in hosting and distributing these compiled datasets, which are then loaded into credential stuffing tools that automatically test combinations against login pages at high speed. The regional focus of this particular combolist suggests it was assembled to target Iranian-language platforms and services with high efficiency.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC offers a free identity scanner searching over 400 billion records including data from the Combolist Iran From CrackingSpace.com breach.
