Identity Theft Risk Grows: The Mansory 7 Leak Hit 4.4 Million

HEROIC analysts identified a large combolist called "mansory 7" shared by a Telegram user, tied to a leak date around January 2026. The file contained 4,426,540 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs each credential was used on, making it one of the larger combolists HEROIC has tracked recently. Why this is dangerous: because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains it can attempt to log in immediately, without needing to crack or decrypt anything. With over 4.4 million records, this single file gives attackers an enormous pool of ready-to-use credentials to test against websites and services everywhere. What was exposed: email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs indicating where each credential was originally used. Why this matters: at this scale, even a small percentage of reused passwords translates into a large number of compromised accounts. Attackers can use these credentials for credential stuffing attacks against email, banking, or social media accounts, which can lead to account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud for the millions of people whose data is included. How combolists like this one work: a combolist bundles usernames or email addresses with passwords, typically gathered from multiple prior breaches, malware infections, or manual scraping, then packaged together under a single label and shared or sold on Telegram channels and dark web forums. Large combolists like this one are often assembled from many smaller sources combined into one file, which is why they can reach millions of records. Check if you are affected: with 4.4 million records in this leak, there is a real chance your email address is included. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records so you can quickly find out and take action if needed.
