The Logs_2 August Stealer Log Put 59,860 Stolen Passwords Online

HEROIC analysts have indexed a stealer log file named “Logs_2 August uploaded by a Telegram User,” which appeared on Telegram on August 2, 2026. The file contains 59,860 records tied primarily to accounts in the United States, and it includes email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those login pairs unlock.

Why This Is Dangerous

Nearly 60,000 sets of credentials sit in this single log, each one pairing a real email address with its matching plaintext password and the exact site it logs into. Because the passwords were never encrypted, an attacker can use them the moment the file is downloaded, without needing to crack anything first.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each set of credentials

Why This Matters

A stealer log of this size gives attackers a large, ready-to-use list for credential stuffing, automatically testing stolen email and password pairs across banking sites, email providers, and social media platforms. Anyone in this file who reused a password elsewhere is at risk of account takeover, and a compromised email account can open the door to identity theft and financial fraud through password resets on other services.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is generated by infostealer malware, software that quietly infects a victim's device and pulls saved passwords, autofill entries, and browser session data directly out of the browser. The stolen information is then packaged into a log file and shared or sold through channels like the one this file was found on. Because stealer logs capture whatever was saved in the browser at the time of infection, they tend to contain current, working passwords rather than outdated ones.

Check If You Are Affected
