The GPLinks Combolist: 13,147 Plaintext Passwords Hit the Dark Web

GPLinks Combolist: 13,147 Login Credentials Surface on Telegram

In early February 2025, HEROIC analysts tracked a combolist file uploaded by a Telegram user containing 13,147 records tied to GPLinks accounts. The file included email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs associated with each login, the kind of ready-to-use credential list that criminals trade and test against other websites within hours of release.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads the list can read them instantly, no cracking or decryption required. Combined with the matching email address and URL, an attacker has everything needed to log into the affected account on the first try. If any of these 13,147 people reused that same password on another site, a single leaked credential can turn into several compromised accounts.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs

Why This Matters

Combolists like this one are the raw material for credential stuffing attacks, where automated tools try each email and password pair against banking sites, email providers, and social media platforms. Because the data here was captured in plaintext, it requires no extra effort from attackers, making these 13,147 accounts an easy target for account takeover, identity theft, and further data collection that can be sold or leaked again down the line.

How Combolists Work

A combolist is a plain text file that pairs usernames or email addresses with passwords, usually gathered from older breaches, phishing campaigns, or malware and then repackaged for resale or free distribution. Unlike a single database dump, a combolist is built specifically for automated login attempts, so it is often shared quickly across Telegram channels and forums, exactly where this GPLinks file surfaced, so buyers can start testing the credentials right away.

Check If You Are Affected

If you have ever created a GPLinks account or reused a password across multiple sites, it is worth finding out whether your information appears in this leak. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one, so you can see your exposure and take action before someone else uses your credentials first.
