Inside the Fresh Mixed Combo3 Dump of 176,479 Stolen Logins

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist called Fresh Mixed Combo3 that a Telegram user uploaded in December 2024. The file contains 176,479 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs of the sites where each credential was used. The name signals two things about how this file was built: fresh, meaning it was recently assembled rather than recycled from an old, widely circulated dump, and mixed, meaning the credentials come from many different sites rather than one breached company. Why This Is Dangerous: Because the passwords are stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains this file can use the email and password pairs immediately, with no cracking or decoding required. Being labeled fresh also means these credentials are less likely to have already been changed by the affected accounts' owners. What Was Exposed: - Email addresses - Plaintext passwords - URLs tied to each account Why This Matters: With 176,479 records pulled from a mix of sites, attackers can run credential stuffing attacks across email providers, banking sites, and online stores at scale. Anyone who reuses passwords is at risk of account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud, and a fresh list makes those attacks more likely to succeed. How a Fresh Mixed Combolist Like This Gets Built: Criminals continuously harvest login data from phishing pages, malware infections, and newly leaked databases, then compile the freshest batches into combolists like this one before selling or sharing them on Telegram. Calling it fresh is a marketing claim meant to attract buyers who want higher odds that the credentials still work, since older combolists tend to have more accounts that have already been secured or abandoned. Check If You Are Affected: HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one. Run a scan to see if your credentials are part of this exposure and get clear steps to secure your accounts.
