The ebusinessguru.net Leak Exposed 885 Passwords on the Dark Web

In September 2023, HEROIC analysts discovered a combolist named ebusinessguru.net uploaded to a Telegram channel by an unverified user. The file contained 885 records, each pairing an email or username with a plaintext password linked to an associated URL.

Why a Small List Still Puts Real People at Risk

A record count of 885 might look minor next to breaches involving millions of accounts, but the risk to each individual in this list is no smaller. Every entry pairs a working email address with its plaintext password and the exact URL it was used on, which is all an attacker needs to attempt an immediate login.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages

Why This Matters

Anyone in this ebusinessguru.net list who reused their password elsewhere is at risk of credential stuffing, where attackers automatically try the same email and password combination against other popular sites. A single reused password can lead to a compromised email account, unauthorized charges, or a broader identity theft situation.

How the ebusinessguru.net Combolist Was Compiled

Combolists like this one are assembled by pulling login credentials from older breaches and stealer log infections, then organizing them into one file, often labeled with the associated site or brand, in this case ebusinessguru.net. These lists are shared and sold on Telegram and dark web forums because they let attackers test stolen logins against many accounts quickly and automatically.

Check If You Are Affected

Regardless of size, every leaked record is worth checking. HEROIC's free dark web scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can find out in seconds whether your email address turned up in the ebusinessguru.net dump or any other breach.
