Search Your Email: Hootmail Fresh Leak Exposes 348 Logins

What HEROIC Analysts Found

On 22-May-2026, HEROIC's dark web monitoring team uncovered a stealer log uploaded to a Telegram channel under the name "Hootmail Fresh B4_Jx uploaded by a Telegram User." The file contained 348 records, each one linking an email address to a plaintext password and the URL of the site where that login was originally used.

Why This Hootmail Fresh Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Being labeled "Fresh" means these 348 logins were likely harvested recently, so there's a good chance the passwords still work. Since the file stores each password in plaintext and pairs it with the exact website it unlocks, an attacker doesn't need any special skill to use it, just a list of ready-made logins to try.

What Was Exposed in This Leak

• Email addresses tied to the compromised accounts
• Plaintext passwords captured straight from infected devices
• URLs revealing exactly which websites each login opens

Why This Matters for Affected Users

With 348 working credential pairs now in an attacker's hands, this leak is a solid foundation for credential stuffing and account takeover attempts. If your password shows up here and you've used it anywhere else, from email to online banking, that other account is now at risk too.

How Stealer Logs Work

Infostealer malware infects a device quietly, often bundled inside pirated software or a fake download, then copies every password, cookie, and autofill entry saved in the browser. The result is packaged into a log, like this 348-record file, and shared or sold on Telegram, where criminals pick through it for logins they can put to immediate use.

Search Your Email to See If You Are Affected

The fastest way to know if you're one of the 348 people in this leak is to search your email directly. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your address against more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out in seconds and secure any exposed accounts right away.
