HEROIC Analysts Found TG hulk_logs 600 LOGS on the Dark Web

Hulk_logs Telegram Channel Surfaces 15,228 US Stealer Records in October 2023

On October 21, 2023, a stealer log package named TG hulk_logs 600 LOGS appeared in breach tracking databases, carrying 15,228 credential records harvested from US endpoints. The "TG" prefix in the name is shorthand for Telegram -- the platform of choice for infosteler operators distributing stolen data to buyers and free-tier audiences alike. At 600 files averaging roughly 25.4 records each, this batch represents a mid-tier release by the channel's standars, though its timing alongside a wave of other October 21 dumps suggests coordinated distribution across mulitple operators that day.

TG hulk_logs 600 LOGS (October 2023): Stealer Log Summary

• Records Exposed: 15,228
• Data Types: Email addresses, plaintext passwords, URLs
• Breach Type: Stealer log -- credentials harvested from malware-infected endpoints, not a direct database breach
• Password Type: Plaintext -- captured directly from browser sessions and credential stores by infostealer malware
• Country: United States
• Date Leaked: October 21, 2023

What "TG" Means in Stealer Log Naming Conventions

Threat actors distributing stealer logs on Telegram frequently prefix their dump names with "TG" to signal the distribution channel. The hulk_logs channel operated as a recurring source of infostealer output, releasing batches in file-count increments -- "600 LOGS" being a direct declaration of how many individual credential files are included. This naming pattern lets buyers quickly assess batch size before acquiring, functioning as a crude but effective marketing signal in underground marketplaces. The per-file yield here of ~25.4 records is below the highest-performing stealer channels of the era but consistent with broad endpoint targeting rather than selective harvesting of high-value machines.

Plaintext Passwords and the Credential Stuffing Pipeline

The most operationally significant detail in any stealer log dataset is password format. TG hulk_logs 600 LOGS contains plaintext passwords -- credentials captured in clear text by infostealer malware before any hashing occurs. Unlike breach databases where attackers must crack hashed passwords (a process that can take days or prove impossible for strong hashes), plaintext credentials are immediately usable. Threat actors load them directly into credential stuffing tools and test them against banking portals, email providers, and e-commerce platforms at scale. The 15,228 records in this dataset represent 15,228 potential account takeover attempts with no preprocessing required.

October 21, 2023: A Coordinated Stealer Log Release Day

TG hulk_logs 600 LOGS did not arrive in isolation. October 21, 2023 saw a cluster of related releases: YOULOGS, stake_logs, crypton_logs 2.0, TOR_LOG MIX 247pcs, Monster Cloud Free 1/2/3, and klaus_cloud_public 82logs all surfaced on the same date. This pattern of simultaneous multi-operator releases is common when Telegram channels coordinate drops to maximize visibility or when a shared upstream source distributes harvested data across multiple reseller accounts. The hulk_logs contribution of 15,228 records placed it in the middle of the pack for that day's activity, with Monster Cloud's combined trilogy exceeding 31,000 records and YOULOGS and TOR_LOG adding further volume.
