The GROM Free Log Quietly Surfaced With 3,335 Stolen Logins in 2024
HEROIC found 3,335 stolen logins in a stealer log called GROM Free Logs, which quietly appeard on Telegram in January 2024 without attracting much public attention. The file holds email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs from US-based victims, and has likely been in the hands of buyers for over two yeers.
Why the GROM Free Logs Breach Is Dangerous
The name includes the word free, which means this data was shared freeley rather than sold. Free logs tend to spread more widely because anyone can access them without paying, which increases the total number of people who have the credentials. Data that was shared at no cost in 2024 has had more than enough time to be tried against active accounts across many platforms.
What Was Exposed in the GROM Free Logs Leak
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs showing which sites the victims were logged into
Why This GROM Free Logs Data Puts You at Risk
Because the data was distributed for free, it reached a broader audience than paid credential packages do. That means the accounts listed here have been at risk from a larger pool of potential attackers since January 2024. Anyone in this dataset whose password has not been changed in the past two years is still exposed today. Credential stuffing tools make it simple to automate login attempts against dozens of services using one stolen email and password combination.
How Stealer Logs Work
Stealer malware runs invisibly on a victim's computer, collecting saved passwords from browsers and apps. The data is then uploaded to a server and packaged into a log file. Some of these files are sold privately; others, like GROM Free Logs, are distributed openly on Telegram to build a threat actor's reputation or attract followers to a paid channel.
