The GODELESS CLOUD Stealer Log Quietly Appeared on Telegram With 5,919 Stolen Records

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file distributed on Telegram in August 2023 by a user operating under the name GODELESS CLOUD. The file contained 5,919 records pulled from compromised endpoint devices, with each record including an email address, a plaintext password, and a URL showing exactly where those credentials were used. The data was not taken from a single hacked database but harvested directly from infected machines and then quietly shared through a popular messaging platform.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every record in this file is ready to use without any additional processing. The passwords are stored as plain text, meaning no technical skill is required to read or use them. An attacker who downloads this file can immediately begin testing each email and password combination against banking sites, email providers, and shopping platforms. The URLs in the file make this even more efficient by showing which services the victim actually used, removing any guesswork about where to target first.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs (websites and services accessed by victims)

Why This Matters

When email addresses and plaintext passwords are combined, the result is one of the most dangerous types of data a criminal can possess. Credential stuffing tools can automatically test these combinations across hundreds of websites in a matter of hours. Because password reuse is extremely common, a single stolen credential can grant access to multiple accounts across banking, email, retail, and social media platforms. Victims of this kind of exposure face risks including account takeover, unauthorized purchases, drained financial accounts, and impersonation. The URL data in this log narrows down the attack surface further, making each stolen record far more valuable to a criminal.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is the output of an infostealer program, a type of malware designed to silently collect credentials and data from an infected device. Infostealers are most commonly spread through phishing emails that trick users into opening attachments, fake software installers disguised as legitimate downloads, or malicious ads that redirect to exploit pages. Once installed, the malware scans the device for saved passwords in browsers, application credentials, authentication cookies, and autofill data. All of this is packaged into a file and sent back to the attacker. Telegram has become a popular distribution channel for these files because it is fast, accessible, and difficult to monitor. The person whose device was infected may never know their data was collected and shared.

Check If You Are Affected

Stealer logs like this one circulate long after their initial release, and the credentials inside remain useful to criminals as long as passwords are not changed. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches across more than 400 billion exposed records, including stealer logs distributed through Telegram and other underground channels. Enter your email address to find out within seconds whether your information appears in this or any other known breach. Early awareness is the most effective step you can take to protect your accounts.
