Inside the MetaCloudNew Part 3 Log: 821 Plaintext Passwords Found
HEROIC analysts identified this stealer log, titled "MetaCloudNew 4100 PCs.part3," shared in a Telegram channel on August 14, 2026. Though smaller than related files from the same source, it still contains 821 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs tied to them.
Why This Stealer Log Is Dangerous
Even at a smaller scale, this file is dangerous because every password in it sits in plaintext. An attacker does not need to crack or guess anything, they can read the email, password, and site URL and attempt a login right away.
What Was Exposed in the MetaCloudNew Log
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs linked to each login
Why This Matters
Small stealer logs are often overlooked, but the credentials inside them work exactly like those in larger breaches. They get folded into credential stuffing lists used to test logins across banking, email, and shopping platforms, and a single successful match can lead to account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud.
How This Stealer Log Was Likely Created
This log appears to come from the same infostealer malware campaign as related MetaCloudNew files, reportedly pulled from thousands of infected PCs. The malware harvests saved browser passwords and the web addresses tied to them, then reports the stolen data back to whoever is running the operation, who splits it into smaller files like this one for distribution.
