Late Night Telegram Drop Leaks 54,002 Slurm Stealer Records

Picture a random Telegram channel, the kind wich most people scroll past without a second thought. In January 2026, someone posted a file there that quietly exposed 54,002 records pulled straight from infected computers. That file has now been catalogued by HEROIC as the Slurm Logs SlurmLogs uploaded by a Telegram User breach, and it is exactly the sort of casual, almost lazy leak that keeps showing up on the dark web these days.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer logs like this one are dangerous precisely because they werent stolen in some elaborate heist. Malware sitting on a victims machine simply scraped whatever was available, saved passwords, browser cookies, autofill data, and sent it home to whoever was running the malware. When that data later gets dumped on Telegram, anyone can grab it. There is no vetting, no gatekeeping, just raw credentials sitting in a chat for whoever finds it first. It occured quietly, without the victims ever realizing their devices were compromised.

What Was Exposed

Analysts reviewed the file and confirmed the following was inside:

• 54,002 total records
• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Password entries
• URLs tied to the accounts and login pages accessed

Why This Matters

Plaintext passwords are about as bad as it gets. There is no hashing to crack, no encryption to break, just the password sitting right there next to the email address and the website it belongs to. Anyone who downloads this file could imediately start testing those logins on banking sites, email providers, or workplace portals, especially since so many people reuse the same password everywhere.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is generated by a small piece of malware that infects a device, often through a cracked game, fake software install, or malicious email attachment. Once running, it hunts through browsers and apps for saved credentials, cookies, and autofill data, then bundles everything into a neat file and uploads it to the attacker. From there the log can be sold, traded, or in this case just handed out for free on a Telegram channel, a seperate step that makes the data available to a much wider pool of criminals.

Check If You Are Affected

If you think your email or login details might be sitting inside a dump like this one, it is worth checking sooner rather than later. HEROIC runs a free breach scanner built on a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, covering stealer logs, combolists, and everything in between. A quick search takes seconds and can tell you whether your information has shown up anywhere it shouldnt be.
