We've been tracking a recent uptick in stealer log activity on Telegram channels, often targeting credentials and API keys related to cloud services. What really struck us wasn't the volume of these logs, but the increasingly specific targeting and the speed at which they're being weaponized. This particular leak, surfacing on March 28, 2024, caught our attention due to its focus on a smaller dataset (around 9,300 records) but with highly relevant data for potential cloud infrastructure compromise. The data had been circulating quietly within a specific Telegram channel, suggesting a targeted, rather than broad-based, distribution.
This breach involves a stealer log file uploaded to Telegram by an unidentified user. The file, named NEW_DAISYCLOUD-CHAMPIONING – 22_MARCH_0409_ON_CHANNEL, contained credentials and URLs seemingly associated with the cloud platform, DaisyCloud. While the exposed record count is relatively small, the inclusion of plaintext passwords alongside email addresses and API endpoints significantly elevates the risk. The speed with which these stealer logs are appearing on Telegram channels, combined with the nature of the exposed data, highlights the growing threat of automated credential harvesting and rapid dissemination for malicious purposes.

The use of Telegram channels for distributing stealer logs is a well-documented trend. Security researchers have observed various threat actors utilizing these platforms to share and monetize stolen credentials and other sensitive information. The ease of access and relative anonymity offered by Telegram makes it an attractive platform for such activities. BleepingComputer has reported extensively on the rise of stealer logs and their impact on enterprises, noting that even smaller leaks can lead to significant damage if they contain privileged credentials or access keys.
While we haven't found specific news coverage of this DaisyCloud breach yet, the appearance of the stealer log aligns with broader trends identified by cybersecurity firms like CrowdStrike and Mandiant. Their research highlights the increasing sophistication of information stealers and the growing prevalence of credential stuffing attacks leveraging stolen credentials. The presence of plaintext passwords further exacerbates the risk, as these credentials can be readily used for unauthorized access to DaisyCloud accounts and potentially other services where users may have reused the same passwords.
