Identity Theft Risk: HolyCloud Private 226 Exposed 1.19M Records

In July 2026, HEROIC analysts tracked a large combolist file named HolyCloud Private 226 as it circulated on Telegram. The file contains approximately 1,190,729 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and related URLs, making it one of the larger credential dumps we have logged this year.

Why the HolyCloud Private 226 Leak Is Dangerous

Scale changes the math for attackers. With over a million plaintext login pairs in one file, automated tools can test every single one against dozens of popular websites in a matter of hours. The sheer size of this list means far more people are exposed to credential stuffing attacks than in a typical small leak.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs

Why a Leak This Size Matters

The bigger the list, the higher the odds that your own email address is somewhere inside it. If you reused a password that appears here on any other account, banking, email, shopping, that account is now a target for automated login attempts. The result can be account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft if enough personal information is tied to the account.

How a Combolist of This Size Comes Together

A list this large is rarely built from a single source. Threat actors typically merge records pulled from older breaches, malware logs, and other leaked collections into one master file. The word "Private" in the name usually means it was first shared within a closed Telegram group or sold to a limited audience before wider circulation began.

Check If You Are One of the 1.19 Million

With a list this size, checking your own exposure is worth doing today. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records. Run a scan now, and if your email turns up, change that password everywhere you have used it.
