Our Analysts Found the DVDFREE Stealer Log With 12,986 Stolen Logins

HEROIC analysts discovered a stealer log named DVDFREE circulating on a Telegram channel, uploaded on 26 April 2024. The archive held 12,986 records combining email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the sites those credentials unlock, all lifted directly from malware-infected devices.

Why This Is Dangerous

DVDFREE contains live, working credentials rather than old or already-changed passwords. Because the passwords sit in plaintext alongside their matching email addresses and site URLs, anyone who obtains the file can attempt to log into all 12,986 accounts with no extra effort or technical skill required.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs

Why This Matters

Nearly 13,000 people had their login details captured in this single file. Attackers use lists like DVDFREE to run credential stuffing attacks, automatically testing the same email and password combination across banking, email, and shopping sites. If you reused a password that appears here, accounts far beyond the original one could be exposed to takeover, fraud, or identity theft.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is created by malware that infects a victim's computer, often through a pirated download, cracked software, or malicious link, and then quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and visited URLs. The stolen information is sent back to the attacker, who compiles it into a file like DVDFREE and distributes it through Telegram channels or dark web marketplaces. Because the data is pulled straight from the browser, stealer log credentials are typically current and accurate.

Check If You Are Affected

If you have ever downloaded pirated software or clicked a suspicious link, it is worth checking whether your credentials ended up in DVDFREE or another stealer log. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records to show your exposure, so you can change any compromised passwords before they are used against you.
