The Connect.ab.ca Leak Happened in June. 5,664 Records Are Now Public.

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist that a Telegram user uploaded on 10-Jun-2026, containing 5,664 records tied to connect.ab.ca. Roughly two months after it first appeared, the file is still circulating and pairs email addresses with plaintext passwords and related URLs, a fully usable set of login credentials for anyone who finds it.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file sit in plaintext, no cracking is required before an attacker can use them. With 5,664 email and password pairs in one place, someone can quickly test each combination against other sites. The longer a leak like this circulates unnoticed, the more time attackers have had to try it out.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs linking accounts to specific login pages

Why This Matters

A combolist of this size is large enough to fuel credential stuffing attacks, where automated tools run stolen email and password pairs against banking, email, and social media logins in bulk. Anyone among the 5,664 affected records who reused their connect.ab.ca password elsewhere is at risk of account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud, whether or not they know the leak exists yet.

How This Combolist Was Assembled

Combolists like this one are typically pieced together from older breaches, phishing pages, or malware logs rather than a single fresh hack, then packaged as a plain text file and shared on Telegram or dark web forums. Because they require no technical skill to use, a combolist can sit quietly for weeks or months before it starts drawing wider attention, which is often exactly what happened here.
