Identity Theft Got Easier: Trident_Cloud_3 Leaks 11,699 Passwords

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log named "Trident_Cloud_3" uploaded to a public Telegram channel on October 4, 2024. The file contains 11,699 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs, pulled directly from malware-infected devices, and it hands identity thieves a significant head start.

Why Identity Theft Just Got Easier

Identity theft usually requires an attacker to piece together several fragments of information about a person. This leak removes much of that work by pairing a working email address with a plaintext password and the exact site it unlocks. With 11,699 of these ready-made pairs available, an attacker can move straight from stolen credentials to draining an account or opening new ones in someone else's name.

What Was Exposed in the Trident_Cloud_3 Dump

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated login URLs

Why This Matters for the 11,699 People Affected

Because these passwords require no cracking, an attacker can act on them the moment the file is downloaded. If someone in this dataset reused a password on their email, banking, or shopping accounts, credential stuffing can turn one exposed login into several, opening the door to financial fraud on top of identity theft.

How Stealer Logs Like Trident_Cloud_3 Get Created

Stealer logs come from infostealer malware that infects a device through a fake download, cracked software, or a malicious attachment. Once running, it quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and login URLs, then sends everything back to the attacker. The resulting file, like this Trident_Cloud_3 upload, is then packaged and shared or sold through Telegram channels and dark web marketplaces.
