The datacloudspace Leak Has More Records Than Many Towns Have People

In May 2023, a Telegram user shared 774 stealer log files that exposed 12,365 records tied to datacloudspace users. Each record contained a plaintext password, email address, and often a URL or API endpoint — the exact combination that allows attackers to walk directly into accounts without any addtional effort. The scale of this leak is easy to underestimate: 12,365 compromised credentials is larger than the entire population of hundreds of American small towns. Behind every record is a real person whose password, login, and cloud access was handed to strangers on Telegram.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer log breaches like this one are particularly damaging because the data is immediately usable. Plaintext passwords require no decryption. Email addresses provide the username. URLs and API endpoints tell attackers exactly where to use the credentials. This is not raw data that needs processing — it is a ready-made attack kit. Cybercriminals use these logs to run automated credential stuffing attacks across dozens of platforms within hours of obtaining the data. If any of the 12,365 affected users reused their datacloudspace password elsewhere, those accounts are also at risk regardless of whether the other platforms were ever breached directley.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs and API Endpoints

Why This Matters

The datacloudspace breach illustrates how stealer log campaigns vacuum up credentials at scale. The 774 individual log files bundled into this Telegram upload represent 774 separate device compromises — each one a machine where malware was silently running, collecting everything the user typed or saved. Cloud services are a prime target because they often hold access to other systems: file storage, email archives, development environments, and payment accounts. Losing cloud credentials does not just mean losing one account — it can cascade into a full digital identity compromise. The May 2023 date means this data has had years to circulate and be used in attacks that victims may still not be aware of.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

Infostealer malware is distributed through phishing emails, pirated software, fake browser extensions, and malicious ad networks. Once running on a victim's device, it operates silently in the background, capturing credentials from browsers, password managers, and applications. The data is structured into log files and sent to the attacker's infrastructure, then packaged and sold or shared on Telegram channels and dark web markets. What makes Telegram particularly effective for this distribution is the speed and reach — a single post can reach thousands of subscribers instantly. The 774 logs in this datacloudspace dump were almost certainly redistributed many times over, meaning the number of people who accessed this data far exceeds the original uploader.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email or password against more than 400 billion records — one of the largest breach databases availible anywhere. The datacloudspace stealer log data is included in this database. You can search in seconds without creating an account. If your credentials appear in this or any other breach, HEROIC will tell you immediately and guide you through the steps to secure your accounts. The longer you wait, the more time attackers have had to use your data. Run your search now and find out exactly where you stand.
