The Everlasting_Cloud Leak: 5,003 Plaintext Passwords Exposed

The Everlasting_Cloud Stealer Log Exposed 5,003 Records

On December 27, 2024, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded to a public Telegram channel under the label "Everlasting_Cloud." The file contained 5,003 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the site or API host that login was used on. This data was harvested from infected computers belonging to individuals in the United States, not from a breach of any single company's servers. The label is simply the uploader's own name for the file, not a real cloud service or company that was hacked.

Why the Everlasting_Cloud Leak Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, there is nothing for an attacker to crack or decode. Each record already lists the exact site a password unlocks, so anyone who downloads the file can attempt a real login the moment they open it.

What Was Exposed in the Everlasting_Cloud File

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords (unencrypted, human-readable)
• URLs of the sites and API hosts each login was tied to

Why This Matters for the 5,003 People Affected

Since each record already tells an attacker which site a password belongs to, there is no guesswork involved in targeting an account. Anyone among the 5,003 people in this file who reused their password on other accounts, such as email, banking, or shopping sites, is at risk of credential stuffing attacks that can lead to identity theft or financial fraud.

How a Stealer Log Like Everlasting_Cloud Gets Built

Infostealer malware infects a device, often through a fake download, cracked software, or a phishing link, then quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and active login sessions. The stolen information is bundled into a file, named by whoever compiled it, in this case "Everlasting_Cloud," and then shared or sold through channels like Telegram to buyers seeking ready-to-use credentials.

Check If You Are in the Everlasting_Cloud Leak

Even a file of 5,003 records could include your email address. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your information against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out right away if your login credentials need to be changed.
