Dark Web Intel: 136,043 Credentials From the Logs_26 February_processed Telegram Dump
HEROIC analysts found the Logs_26 February_processed stealer log on February 26, 2025, when a Telegram user uploaded a file containing 136,043 compromised records. The data types included email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs captured by infostealer malware running on infected endpoint devices. With over 136,000 records, this is one of the larger single-upload stealer logs tracked in early 2025, and the recency of the data means the exposed credentials are likely still active and in use.
Why This Is Dangerous
Recent credentials from 2025 are far more dangerous than older leaked data because people have not yet had reason to change them. An attacker who gets their hands on this log can attempt to log into email accounts, workplace portals, financial services, and cloud storage with very little resistance. Plaintext passwords skip every decryption barrier, meaning the attacker simply needs to copy and paste the credentails to start gaining access right away.
What Was Exposed in the Logs_26 February_processed Breach
- Email Addresses
- Plaintext Passwords
- URLs (endpoints and login pages harvested by the malware)
Why This Matters
A log this size feeds directly into mass credential stuffing operations. Criminal groups use bots to test all 136,043 email and password pairs against banking sites, e-commerce platforms, and social media accounts at the same time. Even a one percent success rate translates to over a thousand compromised accounts from a single file. Victims face unauthorized transactions, identity theft, and account lockouts. If workplace emails appear in the log, the entire organization is at risk of a ransomware or data exfiltration attack launched from a compromised employee account.
How Stealer Log Breaches Work
The Logs_26 February_processed file is the product of infostealer malware infections across many different devices. Infostealers spread through fake software installers, malicious browser extensions, phishing emails with trojanized attachments, and compromised download links. Once a device is infected, the malware collects every saved password from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers, along with active session cookies, autofill form entries, and API tokens. That harvested data is packaged and sent back to the attacker, who then aggregates individual logs into larger files like this one for distribution on Telegram channels and dark web forums.
