CrushWaukesha.com Users Targeted in a 50,415-Record Data Leak

Every CrushWaukesha.com Account Holder Is a Target in This Leak

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist tied to crushwaukesha.com uploaded to a Telegram channel on August 20, 2023. The file contains 50,415 records, each combining an email address with a plaintext password and the account's associated URL. Every one of the 50,415 people in this file now has a working set of credentials circulating among criminals who did not need permission, or any special skill, to obtain them.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords are stored in plain text, there is no barrier between the leaked file and an attacker logging in. Anyone in this file, regardless of how careful they normally are online, is a target simply because their email address and password ended up in the leak.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses: the login identifiers for each account, also useful for phishing.
• Plaintext Passwords: readable, working passwords with no encryption to break.
• URLs: the exact site each credential pair is tied to.

Why This Matters

Attackers do not treat leaks like this as isolated events. They feed the email and password pairs into automated credential stuffing tools that test the same combination against major banking, email, and shopping sites. Anyone in this file who reused their crushwaukesha.com password elsewhere is now exposed on every one of those accounts too.

How This Combolist Reached 50,415 Records

Combolists of this size are usually built by combining data from several sources, older breaches, stealer log malware, or prior leak dumps, and filtering them down to records tied to one domain, in this case crushwaukesha.com. The Telegram uploader compiled and shared the list so other criminals could use it for credential stuffing and account takeover attempts at scale.
