InfernoLogsCloud Leak: What Hackers Do With 28,379 Passwords

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file labeled "InfernoLogsCloud LOGS FREE230" circulated on Telegram in August 2026, containing 28,379 records. Each record pairs an email address and a plaintext password with the URL of the site the credentials were captured from, information malware pulls directly off an infected device.

Why This Is Dangerous

With an email, a working password, and the exact site it belongs to, an attacker has everything needed to log in immediately. There is no cracking or decrypting required since the passwords sit in plaintext, and no guessing which service to target since the URL is right there in the record.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to the original accounts

Why This Matters

An attacker who gets hold of this data can log directly into the accounts listed, then try the same email and password combination against banking sites, email providers, and shopping accounts through credential stuffing. If a login succeeds, the next steps are often changing account recovery details, draining stored payment methods, or using a hijacked email to reset passwords on other services, turning one leaked credential into a full account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud.

How a Stealer Log Leak Works

A stealer log comes from malware that infects a device, often through a cracked application or malicious download, then quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and session details. That stolen information is packaged into a file like "InfernoLogsCloud LOGS FREE230" and uploaded to a channel for others to buy or use directly. Because it reflects what a person was actively logged into, a stealer log tends to contain current, working credentials rather than old, already-changed ones.

Check If You Are Affected

If you want to know whether your credentials appear in a stealer log like this one, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs, so you can find out quickly and secure any account still exposed.
