Dark Web Intel: 18 Million Credentials From the InfernoLogsCloud Database Dump

HEROIC analysts tracked the InfernoLogsCloud FREE192 stealer log, uploaded to Telegram on October 12, 2025 and exposing 18,216,140 records. The dataset contains email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs harvested from compromised devices across the United States. InfernoLogsCloud is a known Telegram channel used by threat actors to distribute large-scale stealer log dumps freely, making this dataset widely accessible to anyone seeking credentials for automated account attacks.

Why 18 Million InfernoLogsCloud Credentials Represent a Serious Dark Web Threat

Free credential dumps published on Telegram channels like InfernoLogsCloud are immediately downloaded by hundreds of threat actors simultaneously. Unlike paid dark web sales where a single buyer purchases access, free dumps like FREE192 are replicated across multiple forums and channels within hours. This means 18.2 million email and plaintext password pairs are now in the hands of an uncountable number of criminals, being tested against every major online service around the clock. The scale alone makes this one of the more consequential Telegram stealer log releases of October 2025.

Data Exposed in the InfernoLogsCloud FREE192 Stealer Log

• Email Addresses — account identifiers used to target victims across every major platform
• Plaintext Passwords — ready-to-use credentials that need no cracking or decryption
• URLs — exposes the specific sites and services each victim was actively logged into

How InfernoLogsCloud Credentials Are Used for Credential Stuffing, Account Takeover, Identity Theft, and Financial Fraud

Credential stuffing is the primary use case for dumps of this size. Automated tools cycle through millions of email and password pairs per hour, testing each against banking platforms, email services, social networks, and e-commerce sites. A successful hit at a major email provider is particularly damaging because it lets the attacker reset passwords on every service linked to that inbox. Account takeover then enables identity theft, with attackers using personal data from compromised accounts to open loans, apply for credit cards, or file tax refunds fraudulently. Financial fraud is the most immediate consequence, with stolen funds and unauthorized purchases often occurring within hours of a successful login.
