Good Emails USA Leak: 3,081 Logins Put Multiple Accounts at Risk

On April 8, 2026, a Telegram user uploaded a file named "Good emails 1701.txt_USA 3184 1." HEROIC analysts reviewed the file and confirmed 3,081 verified records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL the login was tied to. Like other "Good emails" batches analysts have tracked, this one appears to have been pre-screened by the seller to remove dead or invalid logins, meaning the credentials inside are more likely to still work.

Why a Verified USA Combolist Creates Chained Risk

The danger with a "Good emails" batch is not limited to the one account each credential was originally tied to. Most people reuse the same email and password across several services: their primary inbox, a banking or payment app, a shopping account, and often a social media login as well. An attacker working from this file can test each verified credential against multiple platforms in sequence, and because the passwords are already confirmed to be active, a single successful login can open the door to two, three, or more connected accounts before the victim notices anything wrong.

What Was Exposed in This File

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs identifying where each login was used

Why This Matters Beyond a Single Account

With 3,081 verified credentials in circulation, the real exposure is not just 3,081 individual logins, it is every additional account tied to the same email and password combination. This is exactly how credential stuffing attacks escalate: a criminal starts with one working login and uses it to probe email, banking, and retail accounts one after another, turning a modest combolist into financial fraud or identity theft across multiple services at once.

How a Verified Combolist Like This Gets Assembled

To build a "Good emails" file, a seller starts with a larger, unverified list of stolen credentials, then runs automated checks to confirm which email and password pairs still successfully log in. Only the working combinations, in this case tagged specifically to USA accounts, make it into the final file, which is then sold or traded on Telegram at a premium over unverified lists because buyers know the data is more likely to succeed.

Check If Your Email Is in This Leak

If you want to know whether your email address is among these 3,081 verified records, or any other breach HEROIC tracks, run a free scan. HEROIC's breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion compromised records and tells you in seconds if you were affected. If you find a match, change that password everywhere you used it, not just on the original account.
