Search Your Email: The cPanel Stealer Log Exposed 3,003 Logins

In July 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded by a Telegram user containing 3,003 exposed records tied to cPanel hosting accounts. The data includes email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the exact URLs each login was used on, the kind of detail that turns a simple credential list into a ready-made attack kit.

Why a cPanel Credential Leak Is Dangerous

cPanel is the control panel millions of websites and hosting accounts run on. Anyone holding a working cPanel login can access files, databases, email accounts, and DNS settings for a website, essentially the keys to the entire site. Because the passwords in this log were stored and shared in plaintext, there is no encryption to break. An attacker can copy a username and password directly from the file and attempt to log in immediately.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses tied to cPanel accounts
• Plaintext passwords, stored with no hashing or encryption
• URLs showing exactly which hosting panel or site each credential unlocks

Why This Matters

When a login is paired with the exact web address it belongs to, attackers do not need to guess where to try it. That makes credential stuffing far more efficient, and it opens the door to full account takeover of hosting panels, which can then be used to deface websites, plant malware, or pivot into email accounts connected to the same login.

How This Stealer Log Was Likely Built

Stealer logs come from malware, often disguised as cracked software or fake downloads, that infects a device and quietly records everything typed into a browser. Every username, password, and web address visited gets captured and bundled into a text file. Criminals then upload these files to Telegram channels, sometimes for sale and sometimes for free, where anyone can download and mine them for working logins. This particular file is a small, recent example of that pipeline in action.

Check If You Are Affected

If you manage a website or hosting account, it is worth confirming your credentials were not swept up in this or a similar log. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion breached and leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out in seconds and change any exposed passwords before someone else uses them.
