HolyCloud Private 138: 1.2 Million Stolen Passwords Leaked

In June 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log labeled "HolyCloud Private 138," uploaded by a Telegram user, exposing 1,195,908 records made up of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs each login was used on.

What Makes a Log This Size So Dangerous

With nearly 1.2 million complete credential sets in one file, this is not a small, opportunistic grab, it is a large-scale collection point, likely built by merging data from many separate infections over time. The "Private" label and channel number suggest it circulated in a closed distribution group before reaching wider channels, meaning some of these credentials may have already been tested or resold by the time HEROIC analysts flagged the file.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses across a large, mixed set of accounts
• Plaintext passwords, stored with no encryption
• URLs identifying the exact site each stolen login unlocks

Why This Matters

A leak of this scale gives attackers enough raw material to run large, automated credential stuffing campaigns across banking sites, email providers, and online retailers. For each of the nearly 1.2 million people in this file, the risk includes account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft if the exposed password is reused anywhere else.

How a Private Stealer Log Reaches This Scale

Stealer malware infects individual devices one at a time, usually through cracked software, fake downloads, or malicious ads, then quietly records every login typed into a browser. To reach nearly 1.2 million records, operators typically merge output from many separate infections and malware campaigns into a single master file, deduplicate it, and circulate it first in private, invite-only channels, hence "Private 138," before it spreads more broadly on Telegram.

Check If You Are Affected

With almost 1.2 million records in this single log, the odds of your information being included are meaningfully higher than in a smaller breach. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion breached and leaked records, so you can find out in seconds and change any exposed passwords immediately.
