CRYPTON_LOGS 299PCS Means Someone Could Be in Your Accounts

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log labeled "CRYPTON_LOGS 299PCS" uploaded to a Telegram channel on December 27, 2024. The file contained 7,471 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the site or service that login belonged to, the signature of infostealer malware pulling saved credentials directly off infected devices.

What This Means for Your Accounts

If your email address is one of the 7,471 in this log, someone else may already have a working copy of your password sitting on their screen right now. Because the passwords were stored and leaked in plaintext, there is no cracking step standing between an attacker and your account. They can simply enter the email and password from the log into the site listed alongside it, or try the same combination on your email, banking, or social media if you reused that password anywhere else.

What Was Exposed in the CRYPTON_LOGS 299PCS Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages or services

In total, 7,471 records were included in the file.

Why This Matters

Logs like this one feed directly into credential stuffing attacks, where stolen email and password pairs are tested automatically across many other sites at once. Because each record here already ties a password to the exact service it opened, it also gives an attacker a head start on account takeover. For anyone who reused a password from this log elsewhere, the risk extends to financial fraud and identity theft.

How a Stealer Log Like CRYPTON_LOGS Gets Built

Infostealer malware infects a device and quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and the URLs tied to them before sending everything back to whoever controls the malware. A log of nearly 7,500 records suggests credentials were gathered from a sizable number of infected machines before being compiled and shared under the CRYPTON_LOGS name. Logs like this are routinely traded or resold in Telegram channels and dark web forums, extending their reach well beyond the original upload.

Check If You Are Affected

Do not wait to find out someone is already in your account. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can see what has been exposed and change any reused passwords right away.
