189 Accounts Exposed: good_hosting uploaded by a Telegram User

Stealer Log Tied to "good_hosting" Surfaces on Telegram

In mid-January 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log labeled "good_hosting" that had been uploaded by a Telegram user. The file contained 189 records made up of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those logins belong to. That is a modest number compared to a large corporate breach, but every record in a stealer log is fresh and ready to use the moment it is downloaded.

Why This Is Dangerous

Unlike a hacked database where passwords are usually hashed or encrypted, stealer logs store passwords in plaintext exactly as the victim typed them. Combined with the matching URL, an attacker does not need to crack anything or guess where a password belongs. They can plug the email, password, and web address straight into a login form and gain access immediately, often to hosting or account management panels.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Login URLs (including hosting related endpoints)

Why This Matters

With 189 sets of live credentials in circulation, the risk is not just to the accounts named in the log. If any of these passwords were reused on email, banking, or social media accounts, attackers can attempt credential stuffing across other sites using the same combination. Because several of the URLs point to hosting infrastructure, a successful login could hand an attacker control over websites, email accounts, or client data tied to that hosting panel.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs are produced by infostealer malware, malicious software that infects a device and quietly collects everything saved in the browser: stored passwords, autofill entries, session cookies, and the web addresses tied to them. Once harvested, this data is compiled into a log file and distributed through channels like Telegram, exactly where this one surfaced. Because the information comes directly from a live, infected machine rather than an old database, it tends to still be valid, which is what makes stealer logs so useful to criminals looking for accounts they can access right away.

Check If You Are Affected

A 189-record leak may look small, but it only takes one match to put your accounts at risk. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out quickly whether your information has been exposed and act before someone else does.
