How Malware Stole 7,572 Records in the AnubisCloud_bot Breach

How the AnubisCloud_bot Stealer Log Was Built

HEROIC analysts traced a stealer log named AnubisCloud_bot back to a Telegram upload dated 16-Feb-2024. The verified file holds 7,572 records, each combining an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the site the login was used on. The data wasn't taken from a company server breach, it was harvested one infected device at a time by malware built to steal exactly this kind of information.

Why the AnubisCloud_bot Leak Is Dangerous

Every credential in this log is stored as plain, readable text alongside the exact website it works on. That combination removes the two biggest barriers to account takeover: figuring out the password and figuring out where to use it. An attacker with this file can automate logins across all 7,572 entries without needing to crack a single hash.

What Was Exposed in the AnubisCloud_bot Log

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

Why This Matters Even If You Don't Recognize the Name

You may never have heard of AnubisCloud_bot, but that doesn't mean your data isn't in it. Stealer logs are compiled from whatever the malware finds on an infected machine, which can include logins to sites visited months or years earlier. Reused passwords from this log can be used in credential stuffing attacks against your other accounts, opening the door to identity theft and financial fraud.

How Stealer Log Breaches Like This Happen

Information-stealing malware gets onto a device through things like pirated software, fake installers, or malicious email attachments. Once running, it silently pulls saved browser passwords, autofill entries, and visited URLs, then packages the haul into a log file. That file gets uploaded to marketplaces or Telegram channels, which is exactly where this AnubisCloud_bot log was found, bundled as part of a larger 500-file batch.
