Logs_23 February_logs_Rus_cloud Quietly Surfaced: 119,355 Records
HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file named "Logs_23 February_logs_Rus_cloud" that quietly surfaced on a public Telegram channel on February 23, 2025. There was no headline, no press release, just a file dropped into a channel containing 119,355 records tied to infected devices, exposing email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts those passwords belong to.
Why This Is Dangerous
Leaks like this one rarely make the news, which is exactly what makes them dangerous. No one gets a notification, no company sends an apology email, and the data just sits there available to anyone who finds the channel. The passwords are stored in plaintext and matched directly to the URL they were used on, so an attacker does not need to crack or guess anything.
What Was Exposed in Logs_23 February_logs_Rus_cloud
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs of the accounts and services those credentials unlock
Why This Matters
With 119,355 records in this log, attackers have a large pool of ready-to-use logins for credential stuffing, where stolen email and password pairs are tested automatically against banking, email, and social media sites. If any of these passwords are reused elsewhere, the risk quickly extends into account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud, all without the affected person ever hearing that a breach happened.
How This Stealer Log Was Built
Logs like this one are produced by infostealer malware that infects a device, often through a pirated download, cracked software, or a malicious attachment, then silently harvests saved passwords, autofill data, and browser session details. The malware bundles everything it collects into a log file and sends it to the attacker, who then quietly shares or sells it on Telegram channels like the one where this file surfaced.
