2,035 Records in “Logs” Leak, About a Small High School’s Worth

2,035 Records Leaked in a Stealer Log Simply Named "Logs"

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file, labeled simply Logs, uploaded by a Telegram user on 17 July 2026. To put the size in perspective, 2,035 records is roughly the enrollment of a small high school, all captured from infected computers and including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those credentials came from.

Why This "Logs" Leak Is Dangerous

Every password in this file is stored in plaintext, so there's nothing to decrypt or crack. Anyone who gets hold of the file can read a person's email, password, and the exact site it was used on in a single line, then attempt to log in right away. That kind of ready-to-use access is exactly what makes even a modest-sized leak like this one worth taking seriously.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the sites the credentials were captured from

Why This Matters

If your email and password are among these 2,035 records, you face a direct risk of account takeover on the site the URL points to, and credential stuffing on any other accounts where you've reused that password. Because each record already lists the exact site it belongs to, an attacker doesn't need to guess where to try the stolen login.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs come from malware that infects a device, often through pirated software, a fake download, or a malicious attachment, and then quietly copies saved browser passwords and autofill data. Everything collected gets bundled into a file, like this one, and then shared or sold on Telegram, putting real credentials from actual infections into the hands of anyone who downloads it.

Check If You Are Affected

Even a leak of this size can put your accounts at risk, so it's worth checking now. HEROIC's free breach scanner compares your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, giving you a quick answer on whether you were part of this leak so you can change any exposed passwords.
