77 instagram.com Logins Leaked in a Small Telegram Combolist

HEROIC analysts found 77 logins for instagram.com inside a small combolist file uploaded to Telegram in October 2023, each paired with a plaintext password and the exact login page it opens. Seventy seven accounts is a small number, but every single one is a real, working set of credentials sitting in someone else's hands. Scan your email now to see if you are one of them.

A Small Number Still Means Real Accounts

It is tempting to dismiss a file this size, but each of the 77 entries represents a specific person's login. Attackers do not need thousands of records to cause damage, they only need one working password tied to an account you actually use.

What This instagram.com Combolist Contains

• Email Addresses: identify the account owner and give an attacker a target for phishing messages.
• Plaintext Passwords: stored in readable form, so they can be tried immediately with no extra work.
• URLs: confirm the file was compiled specifically around logins for instagram.com.

What a Compromised Login Can Lead To

A working password for instagram.com can be used to take over that account directly, lock out the real owner, and send messages or posts under their name. If the same password protects other accounts, the damage can extend well beyond that one login.

How This Type of File Gets Made

A combolist gathers email and password pairs from sources unrelated to instagram.com itself, then groups them by the site each pair happens to log into. It is not evidence that instagram.com suffered a breach of its own systems, it is simply a list of stolen logins sorted by destination.

Is Your instagram.com Login in This File?

Find out directly by choosing to scan your email. If your address shows up, change that password right away, and check every other account where you used the same one, since account takeover on one service can spread quickly. This applies to work email accounts just as much as personal ones.
