The France Mail Access Leak: 914 Email Logins Exposed on Telegram

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist file named France mail access uploaded to a Telegram channel in April 2025. The name indicates the file is built around email account logins tied to French users or providers. It contains 914 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs those accounts connect to. Why This Is Dangerous: Email accounts are often the master key to a person's online identity. Anyone who gains access can reset passwords on banking, shopping, and social media accounts linked to that inbox. Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, an attacker can try each login immediately with no cracking required. What Was Exposed: - Email addresses - Plaintext passwords - URLs tied to the mail accounts Why This Matters: If any of these 914 email accounts are still active with the leaked password, an attacker could read private correspondence, intercept password reset emails, and use the account to take over other services tied to that same email address. Email account access is one of the most damaging types of credential compromise because it opens the door to a chain reaction across every other account tied to that inbox. How a Combolist Like This Works: A combolist pairs usernames or emails with passwords, typically pulled from smaller breaches, phishing pages, or stealer logs and organized around a theme, in this case email access tied to France. These lists circulate on Telegram, where attackers trade or sell them, then test each pair against the real mail provider's login page to confirm which credentials still work before using or reselling the verified list. Check If You Are Affected: Run a free scan against HEROIC's database of more than 400 billion breached records to see if your email address appears in this leak or any other. If it does, change that password immediately, enable two-factor authentication on your email account, and update the password anywhere else you may have reused it.
