Identity Theft Risk Grows After LogsInspector Leaked 13,344 Passwords

HEROIC analysts uncovered a stealer log labeled "2024-01-06_logsinspector" on a public Telegram channel, uploaded January 7th, 2024, one day after the data was captured. The file holds 13,344 records pulled directly from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the sites those logins belong to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the malware captured browsing activity alongside credentials, an attacker does not just get a username and password, they get the exact site each one unlocks. Combined with the fact that the passwords sit in plaintext with no encryption to break, this turns identity theft into a matter of minutes rather than a technical project. Anyone holding this file can start logging into accounts immediately.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages

Why This Matters

For the 13,344 people in this log, identity theft just became easier. Attackers use matched email, password, and URL sets like these to walk straight into email inboxes, banking portals, and social accounts through credential stuffing. Once inside, they can reset other account passwords, drain funds, or impersonate the victim, and because the passwords were captured in plaintext, there is no encryption slowing that process down.

How This Stealer Log Was Created

Stealer malware infects a device through a malicious download or link, then quietly scans the browser for saved logins and autofill data. It captures each username and password together with the web address it belongs to, packages everything into a single log file, and sends it back to the attacker. That log is then traded or shared, in this case on a public Telegram channel, just a day after it was harvested.

Check If You Are Affected

If your credentials might be part of the 13,344 records in this log, do not wait to find out. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can act before an attacker does.
