The CRYPTON_LOGS Leak Put 9,347 Stolen Email and Password Pairs Online
HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file, labeled CRYPTON_LOGS 301PCS, uploaded to a Telegram channel on December 4, 2025. The file contained 9,347 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs of the sites those credentials unlock.
Why This Is Dangerous
This log links each stolen password directly to the website it opens, so an attacker does not need to guess where to try it. Because the passwords are in plaintext with no hashing to break, anyone who downloads this file can log into the matching accounts right away, no technical effort required.
What Was Exposed
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs of the sites the credentials belong to
Why This Matters
Because every credential in this log is paired with its exact login page, attackers can move straight to account takeover instead of testing stolen logins blindly. That shortcut makes identity theft and financial fraud far more likely, especially where the linked URLs point to banking or payment sites, and it makes the data more effective for credential stuffing than a plain list of emails and passwords.
How Stealer Logs Work
A stealer log comes from malware that infects a victim's device, often through a cracked download, a fake update, or a malicious attachment. Once active, it quietly reads the saved passwords and site data stored in the victim's browser and packages everything into a single file sent back to the attacker. That packaged file, known as a log, is exactly what surfaced here as CRYPTON_LOGS, a direct export of someone's saved logins shared for free or sold on Telegram.
