Some leaks round to the nearest million because nobody bothered counting carefully. This one did not. The HUNTERULP PRIVATE NEW DATABASE stealer log uploaded to Telegram on March 17, 2026 contains an exact 4,905,889 records, right down to the last row, which is usually a sign the file was compiled and sorted with real effort rather than dumped in a hurry.


Why This Is Dangerous

A precisely counted file of nearly five million records means whoever assembled HUNTERULP took the time to clean and organize the data before sharing it, which makes it more useful to criminals, not less. Every one of those 4,905,889 lines pairs an email address with a plaintext password, so there is no guesswork involved for anyone who downloads it. The breach occured through stealer malware, meaning the credentials were captured live off victims' own devices.


What Was Exposed

Inside the HUNTERULP dataset from March 17, 2026:

  • Email addresses tied to real accounts
  • Plaintext passwords with zero protection
  • URLs showing exactly where each login works

Almost 4.9 million records is enough data for a large scale credential stuffing campaign to run for weeks.


Why This Matters

Files this large rarely stay in one place. Once a dataset like HUNTERULP starts circulating, it gets copied, resold, and imediately merged into other combolists that criminals trade and reuse for years. That means the risk to the people in these 4,905,889 records does not end this month, it can resurface again down the road in a completely different attack.


How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer log malware infects a device through phishing links, pirated software, or malicious ads, then quietly copies saved browser passwords, cookies, and autofill data. The stolen information is packaged into a log and uploaded to marketplaces or Telegram channels, often labeled "private" or "new" to suggest exclusivity, exactly as HUNTERULP was marketed here.
