FREE ErernityFamily Dump: Exactly 1,885 Email and Password Pairs
In August 2023, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log called FREE ErernityFamily being distributed through Telegram. The package, uploaded by an anonymous Telegram user, contains exactly 1,885 records, each consisting of an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the service where the credentials were captured. The name "FREE" is a deliberate signal within Telegram's cybercriminal communities: this log was distributed at no cost as a way to build the operator's reputation and attract followers to their paid offerings.
Why the FREE ErernityFamily Stealer Log Is Dangerous
Precision is what makes the FREE ErernityFamily log particularly threatening. With exactly 1,885 structured records, each entry is a complete credential package: the email address acts as the username, the plaintext password requires no cracking, and the URL tells an attacker exactly where to use it. There is no ambiguity, no guessing, and no additional work required. A criminal who downloads this file has everything needed to begin attempting account takeovers within minutes.
What Was Exposed in FREE ErernityFamily
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs (the specific services and websites each credential belongs to)
Why This Matters
Stealer log credentials like those in FREE ErernityFamily are the raw material for several serious attacks. Credential stuffing uses these exact email and password pairs to test login attempts across banking sites, email providers, and retail platforms. Because passwords captured by infostealer malware often come from the victim's most-used devices and most-visited sites, the overlap with high-value accounts is significant. Account takeover can lead to financial fraud, identity theft, unauthorized access to workplace systems, and the compromise of linked accounts that share the same password.
How Stealer Logs Like FREE ErernityFamily Work
The FREE ErernityFamily log is a product of infostealer malware, a type of software designed to silently harvest credentials from infected devices. Infostealers typically arrive through phishing emails, cracked software installers, or malicious browser extensions. Once active on a device, the malware extracts saved passwords from browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, captures keystrokes at login forms, and records the URL associated with each set of credentials.
All captured data is compressed into a log file and sent to the attacker's servers, then distributed on dark web forums or Telegram channels. The "EternityFamily" branding likely refers to the Eternity Project, a known malware-as-a-service operation that has sold infostealer, ransomware, and other tools through Telegram. Free log releases from such groups serve as proof-of-concept demonstrations to recruit buyers and build channel membership.
