The ‘good’ Combolist Exposed 1,849 US Accounts on Telegram

In November 2025, HEROIC analysts found a combolist file named good circulating on Telegram, containing 1,849 records tied to United States accounts. The file paired email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs those credentials were used on.

Why the 'good' Combolist Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads it can read the exact password tied to each email address with no extra work. Paired with the leaked URLs, an attacker can immediately see which website each login was used for and try that combination there or elsewhere.

What Was Exposed in the 'good' Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each set of credentials

Why This Matters for the 1,849 US Accounts Affected

Combolists focused on a single country often get sold or shared specifically because buyers want credentials tied to a particular region, in this case the United States. Criminals load files like this into credential stuffing tools that test each email and password pair against banking, email, and shopping sites. Anyone in this file who reused their password elsewhere is now at risk of account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft.

How Combolist Leaks Like 'good' Work

A combolist is a plain text file pairing usernames or emails with passwords, usually gathered from older breaches, phishing pages, or malware infections and repackaged for resale or free distribution. Telegram channels have become a common place for these files to circulate, sometimes organized by country or region to make them more valuable to specific buyers.
