863 Hotmail Passwords From the Ninho Private Leak Surfaced

HEROIC analysts identified this combolist in mid-June 2026 after a Telegram user uploaded a file labeled Ninho Private Hotmail. Ninho is a name commonly used by private groups on Telegram to brand their credential drops, and this particular batch contains 863 records of Hotmail email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those logins were used on. Why This Leak Is Dangerous: The passwords in this file are stored in plain, readable text, meaning anyone who obtains it can log straight into an affected Hotmail inbox without cracking anything. The private label suggests this batch was originally meant to circulate within a closed group before becoming more widely available, which is common for credential lists that later leak beyond their original audience. What Was Exposed: - Hotmail email addresses - Plaintext passwords - URLs tied to each set of credentials Why This Matters: A Hotmail inbox is frequently used to reset passwords for banking, shopping, and social media accounts. If your email shows up among these 863 records, an attacker could use that access to take over other accounts linked to it, and if you reused the same password elsewhere, credential stuffing attacks can spread the damage even further. How Private Combolists Like Ninho Circulate: Groups that brand their drops with a name like Ninho typically build combolists from phishing pages, malware-infected devices, or older breaches, then share them first within a closed circle before wider Telegram channels pick them up. This staged release pattern is common and often means the credentials are still relatively unchanged by the time they reach a broader audience.
