How a Telegram Upload Called Poland FalconOwn Leaked 4,059 Logins

In October 2024, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist named Poland FalconOwn circulating on Telegram, containing 4,059 records of email addresses and plaintext passwords, along with the URLs tied to each account.

Why This Is Dangerous

The file's name suggests it was assembled and marketed specifically to a Polish-speaking audience or targeting accounts tied to Poland, with "FalconOwn" serving as the uploader's chosen brand name. With plaintext passwords already paired to specific site URLs, attackers can move directly from download to login attempt without any extra work.

What Was Exposed in the Poland FalconOwn Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs

Why This Matters

A leak of 4,059 accounts is a manageable size for an attacker to work through manually or with basic automation, making credential stuffing and account takeover attempts more likely to succeed. Anyone whose credentials appear in this file faces a real risk of identity theft or financial fraud if they have reused the exposed password elsewhere.

How a Combolist Like This Works

Sellers on Telegram often brand their combolists with a memorable name, in this case FalconOwn, to build a reputation for quality among repeat buyers, similar to how a business builds a brand. The credentials themselves are typically gathered from a mix of older breaches, phishing campaigns, or malware infections, then organized and labeled before being uploaded for sale or free distribution.

Check If You Are Affected

If you think your information could be part of this leak, checking takes only a moment. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records to tell you if your credentials have surfaced in this or any other breach.
