Plaintext Passwords Everywhere: LeakBase 50M ULP 3 Hits 10.99M

HEROIC discovered 10,999,108 records in LeakBase 50M ULP 3 by farmagol on 9 January 2025, leaking email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the exact homepage URLs each login was harvested from. The dump was drawn from roughly 50 million raw stealer log lines and posted to LeakBase for other threat actors to download.

Why This Stealer Log Is Dangerous Because Passwords Are Not Hashed

This breach is dangerous because the passwords are stored as plaintext strings, not bcrypt or Argon2 hashes, which means there is no cracking barrier between attackers and your accounts. Plaintext credentials bundled with their exact login URL turn the dataset into a ready-made credential-stuffing kit that any novice can run.

What Was Exposed in LeakBase 50M ULP 3 by farmagol

• 10,999,108 unique email addresses pulled from infected browsers
• Plaintext passwords with no hashing or salt protection
• Source homepage URLs mapping each login to a real site
• Evidence of browser credential theft from Chrome, Edge, and Firefox stores
• A combo list formatted for immediate account takeover tooling

Why This Matters

Plaintext password leaks disproportionately harm people who reuse credentials, because a single exposed password can unlock banking, email, and shopping accounts across dozens of sites. The inclusion of the original URL makes automation trivial, shrinking the window defenders have between leak posting and active exploitation to hours.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer malware such as RedLine, Lumma, and StealC sneaks onto a victim machine through a cracked software bundle, a phishing lure, or a drive-by download, then harvests every stored browser password, cookie, autofill entry, and crypto wallet it can find. The logs are uploaded to command-and-control servers, aggregated by brokers like farmagol, and relisted on forums such as LeakBase and BreachForums.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC scans more than 400 billion compromised records, including the LeakBase 50M ULP 3 dataset, so you can see in seconds whether your email and password appear in farmagol's dump. Run a free HEROIC scan, rotate any reused passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and perform a full antivirus sweep on any device that stored affected logins.
