File 897 Combolist Dump: 937,945 Stolen Login Credentials

In June 2024, HEROIC analysts identified a large combolist file circulating on Telegram, labeled "File number 897 from 1106.Url_Login_Password" and uploaded by a Telegram user. The file contained 937,945 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and associated URLs, making it one of the larger combolists tracked from this source.

Why the File 897 Combolist Leak Is Dangerous

With nearly 938,000 plaintext email and password pairs in a single file, an attacker does not need to guess or crack anything. Every credential can be read instantly and tested against the exact URL it was originally used on, giving criminals a fast, automated way to find accounts that still work.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs

Why This Matters

A leak of this size dramatically increases the odds that your credentials are inside it. If your email and password appear among the 937,945 exposed records, an attacker can run automated login attempts across many other websites in minutes, a technique called credential stuffing. Successful attempts can lead to account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud, especially if the password was reused on banking or email accounts.

How a Combolist This Large Gets Built

A combolist is a compiled file of email or username and password pairs, usually pulled together from multiple older breaches, phishing campaigns, and malware infections rather than one single incident. Files numbered and organized like this one, part of a larger numbered series, suggest the uploader is distributing pieces of a much bigger collection across Telegram channels over time.

Check If Your Credentials Are in This Leak

If you want to know whether your email address 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. It takes seconds to check, and if you find a match, changing that password everywhere you have reused it is the fastest way to shut the door on attackers.
