46 Users Targeted in the Hotmail Fresh B4_Jx Telegram Leak

Hotmail Fresh B4_Jx: 46 Accounts Targeted in a Telegram Stealer Log

On April 13, 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log called "Hotmail Fresh B4_Jx" after a Telegram user uploaded it to a channel used for sharing stolen credentials. The file is a small one, holding 46 records, each combining an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the site the login belongs to. Small as it is, every record represents a real account that is now sitting in the hands of anyone who downloads the file.

Why This Is Dangerous

The passwords in this leak were captured in plaintext, meaning they are readable exactly as the account owner typed them. There is no encryption for an attacker to break through. Combined with the matching URL for each entry, a criminal can go straight to the correct login page and try the credentials immediately, with no extra research required.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses (Hotmail accounts)
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each set of credentials

Why This Matters

The 46 people in this file face immediate account takeover risk on the sites listed in the log, and broader risk if they reused the same password anywhere else. Since Hotmail addresses are frequently used as the recovery email for other accounts, a compromised inbox can give an attacker a path into banking, shopping, or social media logins tied to the same address.

How a Stealer Log Like This Gets Built

Stealer log files are produced by malware quietly running on an infected computer, pulling saved passwords out of the browser and logging whatever is typed into login forms. The malware pairs each stolen password with the URL it came from, then packages everything into a file that gets uploaded to Telegram channels for other criminals to use or sell. Because these logs are built from whichever devices happen to be infected, the record counts are often small, but the credentials inside are just as valid and just as usable as those from a large corporate breach.

Check If You Are Affected

If you use a Hotmail account or think your device might be infected, it's worth checking now. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, to show you whether your email or password has been exposed. Run a free scan and change any password that comes back compromised.
