A Telegram User Uploaded the ‘db’ Combolist With 185 Leaked Logins

The "db" Combolist Leaks 185 Email and Password Records

HEROIC analysts found a combolist labeled simply "db" that was uploaded to a Telegram channel on May 6, 2026. The generic name gives no indication of which service the credentials came from, but the file itself contains 185 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with URLs tied to each entry.

Why This Is Dangerous

A vague file name like "db" does not make the data inside any less usable to an attacker. The passwords are stored in plaintext, so anyone who downloads the file can read and reuse them immediately. With 185 email, password, and URL combinations in hand, an attacker can start testing logins against the sites listed without any extra work.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs

Why This Matters

Generic, unbranded combolists like this one still fuel credential stuffing, where attackers run stolen email and password pairs against many websites hoping for a reused login. If you are among the 185 people in this file and have used the same password elsewhere, those other accounts are exposed too. A single successful login can open the door to account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud.

How Combolists Like "db" Circulate

Vague names like "db" often mean the uploader either does not know or does not care to disclose where the credentials came from, having simply scraped or purchased data from multiple sources and packaged it together. A Telegram user uploaded this particular file on May 6, 2026, joining the steady stream of similar lists shared daily on messaging apps and hacking forums, each adding to the pool of credentials attackers can test against the wider internet.

Check If You Are Affected

Because this combolist does not identify a specific source site, the safest step is to check your email directly. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your address against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records and tells you in seconds if you show up in this leak or any other.
