Dead Souls Cloud Stealer: 1,628 US-Based Credentials Exposed

In November 2022, HEROIC identified 1,628 records from a stealer log file uploaded to Telegram by an anonymous user under the name Dead Souls Cloud. The data was shared publicly and contained email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs associated with compromised endpoints.

Why the Dead Souls Cloud Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Credentials in this log were captured live at the moment of login by infostealer malware -- no cracking required. Unlike hashed password dumps, these email addresses and passwords are immediately usable by attackers on any service where victims reused their credentials.

What Was Exposed in the Dead Souls Cloud Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of compromised endpoints

Why This Dead Souls Cloud Data Puts You at Risk

The URLs in this log map attackers directly to specific accounts -- each URL reveals exactly which service the victim was logged into when their credentials were captured. Credentials stolen in 2022 remain valid on any account where the victim has not changed their password since the compromise. Distribution through Telegram multiplies the exposure across thousands of threat actors simultaneously.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

Infostealer malware is typically delivered via phishing emails or malicious downloads. Once installed, it hooks into your browser's saved passwords and captures email addresses, passwords, and the URLs of sites you log into. These credentials are packaged into a log file and uploaded to command-and-control servers, then redistributed through Telegram channels to other cybercriminals.
