78,769 Logins Exposed in Logs_5 August Leak. Yours Might Be One.

HEROIC's threat intelligence team identified a stealer log titled "Logs_5 August" shared on Telegram, dated August 5, 2026. The file contains 78,769 records harvested from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those credentials unlock.

Why the Logs_5 August Leak Is Dangerous

Because these credentials were captured directly from infected browsers, they were active logins at the time of infection. With passwords stored in plaintext and matched to the exact site URL, an attacker can log in immediately, and with nearly 79,000 records, the odds that a given person is affected are meaningfully higher than with a smaller file.

What Was Exposed in the Logs_5 August Stealer Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the websites or services the credentials belong to

Why This Stealer Log Matters

A stealer log of this size can feed multiple downstream combolists, spreading the same credentials across several Telegram channels. Anyone in this file is at immediate risk of account takeover, and if the affected logins include email or financial accounts, that access can be used to commit further fraud.

How a Stealer Log Like This Works

Stealer malware infects a device and quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and login URLs before sending the results back to the attacker. Logs are often labeled by date, as this one is with "5 August," so buyers know exactly how recent the harvested credentials are, recency being a key factor in how much a stealer log sells for.
