CryptogoL12 9 Stealer Log Exposes 16,165 Readable Passwords

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log called "CryptogoL12 9" circulating on Telegram since August 27, 2026, holding 16,165 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs they were captured from. Every password in the file sits in plain, readable text, exactly as malware recorded it on the infected device. Scanning your email is the only way to know if yours is one of them.

A Password With Nothing Left to Crack

Stolen passwords are usually scrambled in some way, forcing an attacker to spend time breaking them before they are useful. Not here. Every one of the 16,165 passwords in "CryptogoL12 9" is stored exactly as it was typed, which means it works the instant someone opens the file.

What CryptogoL12 9 Pulled From the Infected Device

• Email Addresses: ties each password back to a specific account.
• Plaintext Password: fully usable on sight, with no decryption step required.
• URLs: marks exactly which login page each password belongs to.

Why a Readable Password Raises the Stakes

A readable password removes the one obstacle that normally buys victims time to react. Anyone whose credentials are in this file faces an immediate risk of account takeover, particularly if that same plaintext password was reused on a banking site, email account, or work login.

How Malware Compiles a Log Like This

A stealer log is produced by malware sitting on a victim's device, recording login details as they are typed into browsers and apps, then sending that captured information back to whoever is running the malware. According to HEROIC analysts, the plaintext format in logs like this one is simply how the malware stores whatever it captures, with no extra encryption applied.

Is Your Password Among the 16,165 Exposed?

The only way to know is to scan your email against this stealer log. If you get a match, change that password everywhere you have used it and run a malware check on your main device. Scan both your personal and work email, since stealer logs rarely stay confined to one.
