7,651 Plaintext Passwords From GODELESS CLOUD Stealer Log Surfaced on Telegram

HEROIC analysts discovered a stealer log file uploaded to Telegram on November 5, 2023 by a user associated with "GODELESS CLOUD." The file exposed 7,651 records harvested from infected endpoints, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of API hosts and websites where those credentials were used. Because the passwords were stored in plaintext rather than encrypted form, anyone with access to the file could imediately use them to log into affected accounts with zero effort.

Why This Is Dangerous

Plaintext passwords are the most dangerous form of credential exposure. There is no cracking required, no guessing, no brute-force attack. An attacker opens the file and has a ready-to-use username and password combination. Paired with the URLs also found in the log, they know exactly which services to target first. This means a threat actor can log into your email, cloud storage, banking app, or work systems within minutes of obtaining the file. Stealer logs like this one are frequently sold or shared freely in underground forums and Telegram channels, multiplying the number of people who may have had access.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (API hosts and compromised websites)

Why This Matters

Most people reuse passwords across multiple services. When one set of credentials is exposed in a stealer log, every other account using the same password is also at risk. This is how credential stuffing attacks work: automated tools cycle through leaked username and password pairs across dozens of popular websites until one logs in. From there, attackers can pivot to financial fraud, identity theft, or sell access to your accounts to other criminals. The seperate URLs included in this log make it even easier for attackers to know exactly where those credentials were active.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is the output of infostealer malware, a type of malicious software that silently runs on a victim's computer or mobile device. Once installed, often through a phishing email, a fake software download, or a malicious ad, the malware scans the device for saved passwords, browser cookies, autofill data, and login sessions. It then transmits everything it finds to a server controlled by the attacker. The collected data is compiled into a log file and either kept for private use, sold on dark web markets, or uploaded to platforms like Telegram for wider distribution. Common infostealers include RedLine, Raccoon, and Vidar, and they are readily available for purchase by low-skill threat actors. The GODELESS CLOUD log is consistent with this well-documented pattern of credential harvesting at scale.
