Identity Theft Risk Grows After the ‘Good’ Leak of 688 Logins

Identity Theft Risk Grows After the "Good" Leak of 688 Logins

HEROIC analysts found a combolist named "good" uploaded to Telegram in November 2025, containing 688 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs. The records are tied primarily to accounts in the United States.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are plaintext, anyone who obtains it can read and use the credentials immediately, without needing to crack anything. The included URLs show exactly which site each login belongs to, letting an attacker move directly to testing the stolen pair.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated website URLs

Why This Matters

Once an email and password pair is exposed, the consequences reach further than the original account. Attackers use combolists like this one for credential stuffing, and once inside an email account, they can reset passwords, view personal details, and use that access to commit identity theft or financial fraud against the 688 people whose data is in this file.

How This Combolist Leak Happened

A combolist pairs usernames or email addresses with passwords, usually collected from older breaches, phishing pages, or malware that steals saved browser logins. Files like this one are uploaded to Telegram and passed around, often with minimal information about where the credentials originally came from.

Check If You Are Affected

Before this leak leads to identity theft or fraud, it is worth checking whether your information is exposed. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one. Run a free scan and change any passwords you use on more than one account.
