The Everlasting_Cloud_2 Leak Gave Hackers What They Need to Log In

On December 24, 2024, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log labeled Everlasting_Cloud_2 circulating on a public Telegram channel. The file contained 5,867 records tied primarily to accounts in the United States, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the sites those credentials unlock. The name is simply the uploader's own label for the file on Telegram, it is not tied to any real cloud provider or company, this is a stealer log dump rather than a breach of a single organization's servers.

Why the Everlasting_Cloud_2 Leak Gives Attackers Everything They Need

A stealer log comes directly from malware that infected someone's device and captured whatever credentials were typed or saved in the browser at the time. Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, meaning they were captured exactly as typed rather than scrambled or hashed, anyone who obtains this file can log into the associated accounts immediately without needing to crack anything. There is no puzzle to solve here: an attacker just types in the email and password exactly as they appear in the file and they are in.

What Was Exposed in the Everlasting_Cloud_2 Dump

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the sites the credentials belong to

All 5,867 records trace back to December 24, 2024, and the data reflects English-language accounts primarily tied to the United States.

Why Nearly 6,000 Exposed Records Still Poses Real Risk

Even a dataset this size gives attackers a working list of complete logins to try against banking, email, and shopping sites, betting that people reuse passwords. If any of these 5,867 people reused a password from this log elsewhere, an attacker can walk straight into their inbox, bank account, or social media, opening the door to account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud.

How a Stealer Log Like Everlasting_Cloud_2 Gets Built

A stealer log is data harvested by infostealer malware, malicious software that installs itself on a victim's computer, often through a fake download, cracked software, or malicious email attachment. Once running, it quietly scrapes saved passwords, autofill data, and browser cookies, then packages everything by device into a log file. Criminals bundle these device logs together and sell or share the bundle on Telegram channels and dark web marketplaces, where other criminals buy access in bulk to run through automated login attempts.

Check If You Were Part of the Everlasting_Cloud_2 Leak

If you have used an email address since late 2024, it is worth checking whether your information appears in this leak or any of the others HEROIC tracks. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out in seconds if your credentials have been exposed and take action, like changing reused passwords, before someone else uses them first.
