5,007 Passwords From the GODELESS CLOUD Dump Just Surfaced on Telegram

In August 2023, HEROIC analysts detected a second stealer log upload attributed to the GODELESS CLOUD Telegram actor. This upload contained 5,007 records, slightly larger than the first GODELESS CLOUD dump identified the same month. Each record included an email address, a plaintext password, and one or more URLs tied to the services the infostealer targeted. The data was verified by HEROIC's DarkHive monitoring system and indexed in its breach database for public scanning.

Why This Is Dangerous

The GODELESS CLOUD actor uploaded multiple stealer log batches to Telegram, which indicates an organized operation rather than a one-time incident. When attackers distribute logs in batches, it signals they have ongoing access to compromised devices or a pipeline of stolen data. For victims in this particular file, the risk is the same as any stealer log: plaintext passwords paired with service URLs mean anyone who downloaded this file from Telegram could begin testing those credentials against live accounts immediatly, with no technical knowledge required.

What Was Exposed in the GODELESS CLOUD Leak

• Email addresses used as account identifiers
• Plaintext passwords stored without any hashing or encryption
• URLs pointing to the services and platforms that were targeted
• API host endpoints indicating backend system access

Why This Matters

Over 5,000 records with plaintext passwords is not a small number. Each one represents a real person whose login credentials are now circulating in dark web and Telegram ecosystems. Credential stuffing tools can test these combinations across hundreds of platforms in a short time. Account takeovers on email services enable password resets on banks, shopping sites, and workplace tools. Identity theft and finantial fraud become real outcomes when attackers chain these compromises together. The fact that this is the second batch linked to GODELESS CLOUD suggests victims may face repeeted targeting if the operator continues to distribute data from the same compromised devices.

How Stealer Logs Work

Infostealers are malware programs designed to run silently on infected devices while collecting credentials, session tokens, and browsing activity. The typical infection path is a phishing email, a cracked software download, or a malicious browser extension. Once installed, the infostealer harvests saved passwords from browsers, active cookies, keystrokes on login pages, and API keys stored in configuration files. The collected data is packaged into a log and transmitted to the operator's server. The operator then distributes the log through Telegram channels, sometimes in multiple batches as seen with GODELESS CLOUD. Victims have no notification that this happened.
