Crypto Money Combolist Sat Exposed Since 2023 With 6.9M Logins
Crypto Money Combolist: 6,878,970 Records Exposed in a Telegram Upload
On 08-Jan-2023, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled "Crypto Money" uploaded by a Telegram user. The file is one of the largest we have tracked in this category, containing 6,878,970 records that pair email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs of the accounts they unlock.
Why This Is Dangerous
Nearly 6.9 million plaintext credentials in one file gives attackers enormous reach with almost no extra work. Because each password is already matched to a specific URL, there is no cracking or guessing involved. An attacker can simply run the list against the listed sites and immediately identify which accounts still accept the old password.
What Was Exposed
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs identifying the login page for each account
Why This Matters
A combolist of this scale is a serious asset for large-scale credential stuffing, where automated tools test millions of email and password pairs against banking apps, exchanges, email providers, and shopping sites in rapid succession. Anyone in this file who reused a password elsewhere is at meaningful risk of account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud, and given the "Crypto Money" label, financially motivated targeting is a reasonable concern.
How Combolists Work
A combolist is a compiled file of email-and-password pairs, usually assembled from older breaches, phishing operations, or stealer malware logs and then labeled to signal what kind of accounts or buyers it is meant for. A name like "Crypto Money" is a marketing choice sellers use on Telegram and dark web forums to attract buyers looking for financially valuable targets, even though the underlying credentials in the file may span many different types of sites.
