If You Reuse Passwords, the ES_URL-LOGIN-PASS Leak Should Worry You

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled ES_URL-LOGIN-PASS that a Telegram user uploaded on 21-Apr-2025. The file contains 374,144 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs of the sites those credentials unlock, tied largely to accounts in the United States. | WHY THIS IS DANGEROUS: Because the passwords are stored in plaintext and each one is matched to a specific URL, an attacker can open the file and go straight to the exact login page a victim uses, entering their real email and password with no cracking or guesswork involved. | WHAT WAS EXPOSED: Email addresses; plaintext passwords; URLs identifying which site each credential unlocks. | WHY THIS MATTERS: With more than 374,000 records in this file, attackers have enough volume to automate login attempts across banking sites, email providers, and social platforms, a tactic known as credential stuffing. If you reuse the same password across multiple accounts, a leak like this one is exactly how a single exposed password turns into several compromised accounts, financial fraud, or identity theft. | HOW COMBOLISTS WORK: A combolist is a compiled file of email or username and password pairs, often assembled from multiple smaller breaches or stolen-credential sources and repackaged for resale or free distribution on Telegram channels and dark web forums. Because it draws from several origins at once, a combolist can be harder to trace to one breach, but the credentials inside are frequently still active and usable. | CHECK IF YOU ARE AFFECTED: If you want to know whether your email appears in this combolist or any other leaked dataset, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your information against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records.
