Inside mix 11.02 764: 1,866,381 Plaintext Passwords Found

Zoom in on one detail from the file called mix 11.02 764 and it gets uncomfortable fast: every single one of the 1,866,381 passwords inside was stored in plain, unscrambled text. Not hashed, not encrypted, just sitting there in the open for anyone who opened the file after it landed on Telegram on 12-Feb-2025.

Why This Is Dangerous

Plaintext passwords are the worst case scenario in any leak because there is no extra step for an attacker to take. Normally a stolen password database has some form of scrambling that needs to be cracked first, which buys victims time. Here, the password is simply readable the moment the file is opened, wich means anyone with access can start testing logins right away.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each login
• 1,866,381 total records exposed

Why This Matters

Nearly two million people had their exact login details captured in one shot, and because the passwords are unprotected, there is nothing standing between that data and your accounts. If you recieve alerts about strange login attempts around this time, it may not be a coincidence, it could be someone working through this exact file.

How Stealer Logs Work

This type of leak comes from infostealer malware, small programs designed to infect a device and quietly copy whatever is saved in the browser. Passwords, autofill fields, and visited URLs all get scraped and bundled together, then uploaded in bulk. The size of this file, nearly two million entries, suggests the malware operator ran a wide distribution campaign before this leak occured.

Check If You Are Affected

With almost two million records involved, the odds that your information is affected are higher than usual. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can find out in seconds whether your email shows up in this leak or any other one out there.
