How the BabaCloudLogs Stealer Log Exposed 17,577 Passwords

How the BabaCloudLogs Stealer Log Exposed 17,577 Credentials

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log uploaded to a Telegram channel on July 31, 2025. The file, labeled BabaCloudLogs 255 Cloud Logs, contains 17,577 records tied to United States based accounts, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the services those credentials belong to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this log are stored in plaintext, there is nothing standing between the file and a working login. Anyone who has it can match an email address to its password and the exact site or service it opens, then sign in directly. There is no encryption to break and no time-consuming cracking process involved.

What Was Exposed in the BabaCloudLogs Dump

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each set of credentials

Why This Matters

Plaintext passwords tied to specific web addresses are precisely what fuels credential stuffing, where attackers run stolen email and password pairs against banks, email providers, and other popular sites in bulk. Anyone among the 17,577 affected accounts who reused a password elsewhere is at risk of account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud that starts with this single leaked file.

How This Stealer Log Was Created

Stealer logs like BabaCloudLogs are produced by infostealer malware that infects a victim's computer, often bundled with a pirated program, a fake update, or a phishing attachment. Once installed, the malware reads saved passwords and login pages directly from the browser and any connected apps, then compiles them into a single file. That file is then uploaded to Telegram channels and underground marketplaces, exactly where HEROIC analysts found the BabaCloudLogs dump on July 31, 2025.
