Israele, Uploaded by a Telegram User: Check If You’re in the 3.9M Leak

HEROIC's dark web analysts identified a combolist on August 18, 2023 containing 3,955,521 records tied to a source labeled "israele uploaded by a Telegram User." The file was shared directly inside a Telegram channel and packages email addresses together with plaintext passwords and the website URLs those credentials unlock, the exact format criminals use to automate account takeover attempts.

Why This Israele Combolist Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads it can read every password exactly as it was typed, no cracking or decryption required. Paired with the matching email address and the URL of the site each login belongs to, an attacker has a ready-made list of "who, where, and how" for nearly 4 million accounts. That combination is what makes combolists so valuable on Telegram and dark web marketplaces: they are plug-and-play for automated login attacks.

What Was Exposed in the Israele Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login sites

Why This Matters for the 3.9 Million Accounts Involved

When email, password, and site URL are bundled together like this, attackers can run credential stuffing tools that test the same login pair across banking, email, and social media sites in seconds. If any of the 3,955,521 people in this file reused a password, an attacker already has the roadmap to try it everywhere else that person has an account. That opens the door to account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft, often before the victim notices anything is wrong.

How a Telegram Combolist Like This Gets Built

A combolist is not a single hack. It is a compiled file, usually assembled from multiple smaller breaches, phishing campaigns, or malware infections, then formatted into simple email:password:URL lines so it can be fed straight into automated login-testing tools. Uploading a finished combolist to a Telegram channel, as happened here on August 18, 2023, is how these files get distributed for free or sold to less technical criminals who then use them to attack accounts at scale.
