Our Analysts Found the 608x UHQ Hotmails DARKAURABASE 1 Password Leak

HEROIC analysts found a combolist file named “608x UHQ Hotmails DARKAURABASE 1” circulating in a Telegram channel on 16 August 2026. The file contains 561 records, each an email address paired with a plaintext password and the URL of the account it belongs to.

Why This Is Dangerous

The passwords in this file were stored and shared in plain, readable text rather than encrypted. Anyone who downloads the DARKAURABASE 1 file can read every credential immediately and begin testing it against other websites, no cracking required.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs identifying the site or service tied to each login

Why This Matters

The file's name signals it was built around Hotmail-style email accounts, a common way combolist sellers package credentials by provider so buyers can target a specific type of account. Whatever the naming, the risk is the same: attackers run leaked email and password pairs through automated credential stuffing tools that quietly test them across banks, email providers, and social platforms. Anyone in this leak who reused a password elsewhere faces a real risk of account takeover and identity theft.

How Combolists Like DARKAURABASE 1 Get Made

A combolist is a compiled file of login credentials gathered from multiple sources, past breaches, phishing pages, and malware, then packaged and shared for anyone looking for working logins. Files like this one are typically uploaded to Telegram channels dedicated to trading combolists, where they circulate among people searching for accounts to exploit.

Check If You Are Affected

If you use a Hotmail or Outlook address, it is worth checking now. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches your email against more than 400 billion breached records, including this leak, so you can find out in seconds whether your credentials were exposed and change any reused passwords.
