hotmail.belogsfox Leak: Exactly 35,707 Records Exposed Online

A Hotmail-Focused Stealer Log Named "hotmail.belogsfox" Exposes 35,707 Records

On August 28, 2025, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log dataset shared by a Telegram user under the label "hotmail.belogsfox." The file contained 35,707 records, and each one paired an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the site that login was used on, with the naming pointing specifically to Hotmail account credentials.

Why This Hotmail-Targeted Stealer Log Is Dangerous

A batch focused on Hotmail accounts is especially concerning because email accounts often act as the master key to everything else. With a plaintext password and the matching URL, an attacker can log straight into a victim's inbox, and from there potentially reset passwords or receive verification codes for other services tied to that email address.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs identifying the site each login was used on

Why This Matters

Because this data centers on email access, it goes beyond ordinary credential stuffing. Anyone among these 35,707 people who has this Hotmail password reused elsewhere faces immediate risk of account takeover on other services, and losing control of an email inbox can cascade into further account resets and identity theft attempts across the accounts tied to it. The included URL leaves no doubt about exactly which login this data unlocks.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs are produced by malware that infects a device and quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill entries, and site URLs before sending everything back to whoever controls the malware. Common infection routes include pirated software, fake installers, and malicious attachments. Once collected, data is often sorted by email provider, as this batch appears to be, and then traded on Telegram channels and dark web forums.

Check If You Are Affected

If you use a Hotmail or Outlook email address, it is worth checking your exposure directly. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, and shows you exactly what has surfaced so you can secure your inbox and any accounts tied to it.
