The cvv190_cloud_1 Dump Contains Exactly 3,322 Stolen Logins

HEROIC analysts discovered the cvv190_cloud_1 file circulating on Telegram in July 2024, holding 3,322 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs tied to each one. It had been sitting there, apparently unnoticed, until it surfaced during routine monitoring. The only way to know if you're affected is to scan your email.

Found on Telegram, Still Fully Readable

By the time HEROIC analysts found this file, every password inside it was already sitting in plain text. No cracking tools are needed, only a reason to try one of the logins.

What This File Reveals About Each Login

• Email Addresses: gives an attacker a direct line to contact or impersonate the account owner.
• Plaintext Password: stored and leaked in fully readable form, so no cracking is needed before it can be used to log in.
• URLs: tells an attacker precisely where to try the credentials, skipping any guesswork about which account they open.

3,322 Passwords Pulled From One Device

Each of the 3,322 entries ties an email to a password and the exact service it opens, giving an attacker a direct, confirmed way into whatever account that login protects.

How This File Ended Up on Telegram

Stealer malware exports its haul as a single file once enough logins accumulate on the infected device, and files like this one are then shared or sold through channels like Telegram.

Could This Be the Device Behind 3,322 Logins?

Start by taking a moment to scan your email and see whether this file, or any other, included your address. If it did, run a malware scan and reset the affected device before changing anything, and use a unique password for every account going forward. This applies whether the address involved is a personal inbox or a work email, since either one can open the door to the other.
