If You Reuse Passwords, the Logs 13 July Leak Should Worry You

HEROIC discovered a stealer log collection labeled Logs_13 July shared on Telegram in July 2026. This is a recent and large-scale leak containing 121,504 records harvested by infostealer malware, with each entry including an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the service the victim was logged into at the time their credentials were stolen.

Plaintext Passwords Mean Instant Exposure

The 121,504 passwords in this leak are stored in plaintext, exactly as the victims typed them. There is no layer of encryption or hashing between an attacker and your working credentials. Anyone who accesses this dataset can immediately use any password it contains. Because this is a fresh July 2026 leak, many of these passwords are likely still active and unchanged, making the risk of exploitation especially high.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (various online services and login pages)

Why Password Reusers Face the Greatest Danger

If you use the same password for your email, social media, banking, and other accounts, a single entry in this 121,504-record dataset could hand attackers the keys to your entire online presence. Credential stuffing tools automate the process of trying leaked passwords against thousands of websites simultaneously. The larger the dataset, the more profitable these attacks become, and at 121,504 records, this leak provides substantial ammunition for automated account takeover campaigns.

Stealer Logs: The Growing Threat of Device-Level Compromise

Unlike breaches that target a specific company's database, stealer logs capture credentials directly from infected user devices. Infostealer malware silently runs on a victim's computer, extracting every password stored in their browser along with cookies, autofill data, and cryptocurrency wallet information. A single infected device can yield credentials for dozens of different services, all packaged into one log entry. These logs are then aggregated and distributed through Telegram channels, making them readily accessible to a wide range of threat actors.

Check If Your Credentials Were Exposed

Given the recency of this July 2026 leak, affected credentials are very likely still in active use. HEROIC's breach scanner covers more than 400 billion compromised records and is updated continuously. Search your email address to find out whether your login details are included in the Logs 13 July dataset or any other known breach, and change your passwords immediately for any services that show up as compromised.
