Researchers Link the mansory 2 Dump to 2.97 Million Stolen Credentials

HEROIC analysts linked the mansory 2 file to a Telegram-based distribution network after the archive appeared in April 2026. The dataset contained 2,975,192 records, each structured with an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the website where that login was saved in the victim's browser. The file is the second in a series uploaded under the mansory name, following an earlier release from the same Telegram source. All passwords are unencrypted. This is a stealer log dataset, meaning the credentials were not obtained through a database breach but by harvesting saved passwords directly from infected computers.

The continuation of the mansory series -- with a first upload followed by this second release -- indicates an ongoing collection operation rather than a one-time incident. Victims in this second file represent a new wave of infections from machines compromised after the first mansory upload was distributed.

Why the mansory 2 Stealer Log Is a Direct Threat to Account Security

Stealer log files differ from traditional database breaches in one critical way: the passwords they contain are never encrypted. When a company suffers a database breach, stolen passwords are typically hashed -- run through a one-way scrambling function that requires significant computational work to reverse. Stealer logs bypass this entirely. The malware reads passwords directly from the browser's local storage, where they are saved in plaintext, and transmits them to the attacker's server before any encryption can protect them.

The mansory 2 file contains 2.97 million such passwords, each paired with the email address used as a username and the URL of the target website. There is nothing to decrypt, nothing to crack, nothing to reverse. Any person with this file has immediate, direct access to nearly 3 million login credentials ready for use.

What the mansory 2 Telegram Upload Contained

• Email addresses (primary login identifiers for the affected accounts)
• Plaintext passwords (unencrypted, in the same form the victim typed them)
• URLs (the exact websites where each credential was saved and stolen)

The combination of all three data points in a single record is what makes stealer log files so immediately exploitable compared to other types of leaked data.

How the mansory 2 Leak Connects to Credential Stuffing, Account Takeover, and Identity Fraud

The primary use of stealer log data in criminal ecosystems is credential stuffing -- the automated testing of stolen username and password combinations against dozens of websites simultaneously. With 2.97 million records and known target URLs, this process is highly efficient. Attackers use the URL field to direct their tools to the highest-value targets first, testing banking portals and email providers before moving to lower-priority accounts.

Password reuse enables this to scale. Studies consistantly show that a significant portion of internet users reuse the same password across multiple services. A single working credential from the mansory 2 file can therefore unlock not just the account it was stolen from, but potentially the victim's email, banking app, healthcare portal, and social media accounts -- all tested within hours of the initial file download.

Identity fraud follows naturally from email account access. With an email account under their control, attackers can reset passwords on linked services, intercept verification codes, access stored personal information, and harvest the billing details and addresses needed to commit financial fraud in the victim's name. This cascade of harm can unfold within a single day of the original credential being exploited.

How the mansory Stealer Log Operation Works

The mansory uploads follow the standard stealer log distribution model. An actor using the mansory handle deploys Redline Stealer or a similar infostealer malware through a distribution campaign -- typically malicious downloads, cracked software, or phishing lures. Infected machines automatically upload their harvested credential data to the actor's collection server. Once enough material has accumulated, the actor packages it into an archive and posts it to a Telegram channel, either for free distribution or for sale to other criminals.

The second upload -- mansory 2 -- suggests the actor continued their infection campaign after the first release. This is a persistent operaton, not a single incident. Victims infected between the first and second upload would find their credentials in this file, likely without any knowledge that their machine was compromised.

Stealer malware typically leaves no visible trace on the infected machine. No slowdown, no pop-ups, no warnings. The victim goes about their day while their passwords are quietly transmitted to the attacker. The first indication that something went wrong is often a locked account, an unexpected transacton, or an alert from a breach scanner.

Search the mansory 2 Dataset for Your Email Address

HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion exposed records, including the mansory 2 Telegram upload and thousands of other stealer log files and breach archives. Searching takes seconds and tells you immediately whether your email address appears in this or any other dataset in the HEROIC database.

If your email appears in the mansory 2 file, assume your password for the associated account is compromised. Change it immediately on every site where you use the same password, enable two-factor authentication on your email and financial accounts, and review your recent account activity for any sign of unauthorized access.
