HEROIC Analysts Found 24,671 SoundtrackCollector.com Logins on Telegram

HEROIC Analysts Uncover a SoundtrackCollector.com Combolist on Telegram

On August 20, 2023, HEROIC's dark web analysts identified a combolist tied to soundtrackcollector.com circulating in a Telegram channel used to trade stolen credentials. The file contains 24,671 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL the login belongs to. Because the passwords are stored in plain text, they are immediately usable by anyone who obtains the file.

Why This Is Dangerous

Unlike hashed or encrypted passwords, plaintext credentials require no extra work from an attacker. They can be copied directly into a login form. Anyone who downloads this combolist can attempt to sign in using the exact email and password combination the account owner created, with no technical skill required.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses: the identifying login for each account, also useful for phishing.
• Plaintext Passwords: fully readable, working passwords.
• URLs: the specific site or login page tied to each set of credentials.

Why This Matters

Password reuse is what turns a discovery like this into a much bigger problem. If the email and password combination in this file matches your login somewhere else, an attacker can use automated credential stuffing tools to try it across banking, email, and shopping accounts. That is how one small leak leads to account takeover, identity theft, or direct financial loss.

How This Kind of Combolist Gets Assembled

Combolists are compiled by gathering credentials from a range of sources, previous breaches, stealer log malware, and older leak dumps, then filtering and organizing them around a specific domain, here soundtrackcollector.com. The Telegram uploader is generally a distributor rather than the original intruder, packaging already-exposed data so other criminals can use it for credential stuffing and account takeover attempts.

Check If You Are Affected

If you have ever registered on soundtrackcollector.com, or reuse passwords across accounts, check now. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including this one, and tells you instantly whether your email address was exposed.
