A Decrypted hotels4truckers.com Combolist Surfaced on Telegram

On 20 August 2023, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist labeled "hotels4truckers.com_35.276_decrypted," uploaded to Telegram by an individual user. The file name ties the data to hotels4truckers.com and indicates the passwords have already been decrypted into readable form. The list contained 35,245 records, each combining an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the login page those credentials were meant to access.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are plaintext, there is no barrier left between an attacker and a working login. The exact password sits right beside the exact email address and the exact site it unlocks, ready to be tried the moment someone downloads the file. Anyone in this list who reused that password on another site has effectively handed attackers a spare key.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages

Why This Matters

Lists like this feed directly into credential stuffing attacks, where automated tools try each email and password pair against dozens of other sites, banking portals, email accounts, and online retailers, in a matter of seconds. If a match is found, the attacker gains account takeover without any hacking skill at all. From there it is a short step to identity theft and financial fraud using whatever personal or payment information those accounts hold.

How a Decrypted Travel Site Combolist Like This Is Built

A "decrypted" combolist starts as a set of credentials that was originally stored with some form of protection, such as hashing, and is then cracked or reversed back into plain, readable passwords. Once decrypted, the file is cleaned up, formatted as email, password, and URL, and circulated through Telegram channels where stolen credential sets are traded and sold to anyone looking for a ready-to-use list.

Check If You Are Affected
