Identity Theft Got Easier Because of Suncloud: 33,802 at Risk

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log uploaded to a public Telegram channel on December 26, 2022, under the name Suncloud Private Part 2. The file contained 33,802 records, each combining an email address with a plaintext password and a URL pointing to the site that login belonged to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because these passwords sit in plaintext, there is no cracking step standing between the file and a working login. Anyone who downloads it can immediately try each email and password pair against real accounts, and with over 33,000 pairs to work through, even a small success rate adds up to a meaningful number of compromised accounts.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each login

Why This Matters

Every one of these accounts becomes easier to steal the moment its password reuse catches up with it. Attackers run leaks like this through credential stuffing tools that quietly test the same email and password against banks, email providers, and shopping sites. Where a match lands, the account can be taken over, and from there identity theft and financial fraud follow directly, often before the account owner notices anything is wrong.

How Stealer Logs Work

This incident is a stealer log, the product of infostealer malware running quietly on an infected device. The malware typically spreads through a cracked download, a fake update, or a malicious attachment, then harvests saved passwords, autofill data, and session cookies straight from the browser before sending them to the attacker. Files like Suncloud Private Part 2 commonly surface on Telegram this way, shared to build a following before larger, paid dumps follow.

Check If You Are Affected

Because a stealer log comes from an infected device rather than a company breach, there is no notification email waiting in your inbox. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can find out quickly and change any exposed password before it is used against you.
