How the HolyCloud Private Dump Compiled 1.2 Million Stolen Logins

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist labeled "HolyCloud Private 155" circulating on a Telegram channel in July 2026. The file paired 1,196,356 email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs of the sites those logins belong to, the standard format attackers use to automate login attempts across the web.

How the HolyCloud Private Dump Reached Over a Million Records

Files like this one do not start out at over a million lines. They grow as different batches of stolen or leaked credentials get merged into one master file over time, then get labeled, packaged, and passed around private Telegram groups as a finished product. By the time HolyCloud Private 155 was posted publicly, it already contained plaintext passwords paired directly with the login pages they belong to, meaning anyone who grabs the file can start testing logins immediately with no cracking required.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linking each credential pair to its original login page

Why This Matters

At nearly 1.2 million records, this file is large enough to be run through automated credential stuffing tools that test every entry against dozens of popular websites in minutes. Anyone whose email and password appear here faces a real risk that a reused password elsewhere, banking, email, or shopping, gets tried and unlocked. Once an attacker gets into one account, they often reset passwords on connected accounts, turning a single leaked login into a much wider takeover.

How Combolists Like This One Are Built

Combolists are compiled by merging credentials pulled from older breaches, phishing kits, and malware logs into a single searchable file, then formatted as email:password or email:password:URL so they can be fed straight into automated login tools. They are traded and sold cheaply on Telegram and dark web forums because they let low-skill attackers run large-scale login attempts with almost no technical effort. A file's age does not make it safe. Old combolists still work against anyone who has not changed the password since.

Check If You Are Affected

You do not have to guess whether your information is sitting in a dump like this one. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against more than 400 billion leaked records pulled from combolists, stealer logs, and dark web marketplaces. Run a free scan, and if a match turns up, change that password everywhere else you have used it.
