Is Your Gmail Password in the New 0608 Stealer Log Leak?

On February 28, 2023, a Telegram user uploaded a stealer log file labeled "Gmail New 0608," exposing 732,236 records of stolen login data tied to Gmail addresses. The file contained email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the websites those credentials were used on. This is not a breach of Google's own systems. It's a collection of Gmail account logins stolen from individual users' infected devices and then bundled for distribution on Telegram.

Why Your Gmail Password Could Be in This File

Gmail is one of the most widely used email services on earth, which makes it a favorite target for stealer malware simply because so many devices have a Gmail login saved in the browser. This log is a raw dump of credentials copied straight from infected computers. The passwords inside were captured in plaintext, exactly as the victims typed them, so there's no encryption to break and no hash to crack. Anyone who has this file can try the logins immediately.

What Was Exposed

• Gmail email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the websites the credentials were used on

Why This Matters

More than 732,000 working Gmail username-and-password pairs are now circulating on Telegram. A Gmail account is often the key to everything else, password resets, banking alerts, and other logins all flow through it, so a compromised Gmail password puts far more than your inbox at risk. Because people also reuse passwords across sites, attackers use logs like this for credential stuffing, trying the same login against other accounts. When it works, it leads to account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud.

How Gmail Logins End Up in a Stealer Log

Stealer malware typically arrives disguised as cracked software, a fake browser update, or a malicious attachment. Once it's running on a device, it quietly scans the browser for saved passwords, autofill entries, and the web addresses tied to them, including Gmail, then packages everything into a single file and sends it back to whoever controls the malware. That file gets bundled with thousands of others and shared in Telegram channels, exactly like the "Gmail New 0608" log behind this 732,236-record exposure.

Check If You Are Affected

If you use Gmail, or reuse the same password on other accounts, it's worth checking your exposure directly. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, and tells you instantly if your email address has turned up in a breach. If you find a match, change your password right away, avoid reusing it anywhere else, and turn on multi-factor authentication wherever it's offered.
