IT 7.24 Passwords Leaked in 2022, Surfacing on Telegram in 2026
HEROIC's threat intelligence team identified a combolist named IT 7.24 being shared on Telegram. The file itself is dated December 10, 2022, but it only surfaced in HEROIC's monitoring in August 2026, containing 33,927 records that pair email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs those logins belong to.
Why the IT 7.24 Leak Is Dangerous
Older combolists like this one are dangerous precisely because time has passed. People forget which accounts used a given password, so a credential from 2022 can still work today if it was never changed. Because the passwords are in plaintext, an attacker can test every entry against other sites immediately.
What Was Exposed in the IT 7.24 Combolist
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs of the websites or services the credentials belong to
Why This Combolist Matters
With nearly 34,000 credential pairs, this file is large enough to be useful in credential-stuffing campaigns years after it was first compiled. Anyone whose password has stayed the same since 2022 remains at risk of account takeover, which can lead to further fraud if the account touches email, shopping, or financial services.
How a Combolist Like This Works
A combolist pairs usernames or emails with passwords gathered from older breaches, stealer logs, or previous stuffing attempts. These lists do not expire on their own, they get recirculated, renamed, and resold on Telegram and dark web forums for years after their original compilation, which is exactly what appears to have happened here.
