NL Telegram Leak: 2 Exact Records Exposed in Combolist File

In July 2026, HEROIC analysts flagged a small combolist file labeled "NL" being shared on Telegram. Unlike the larger dumps we track, this file contained only 2 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and an associated URL.

Why This Is Dangerous

Scale isn't the only thing that matters in a credential leak. Even a single exposed email and plaintext password pair can be enough for an attacker to log directly into that account, or to test the same password against other services the person uses. Because the password here is stored in plaintext, no cracking or decryption is required, whoever has the file can use it immediately.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs/login destinations

Why This Matters

Small leaks like this one are often overlooked, but they carry the same personal risk as larger breaches for the people involved. If either of the two exposed passwords was reused anywhere else, credential stuffing tools can use it to attempt logins across banking, email, and social media accounts, opening the door to account takeover or identity theft.

How Combolist Leaks Work

A combolist is a compiled file of email and password pairs, often built by combining credentials from multiple older leaks or stealer infections. Files like this one, even small ones, are frequently uploaded and shared in Telegram channels where other criminals can pick them up, verify which logins still work, and reuse them for further attacks.

Check If You Are Affected

Whether a leak involves 2 records or 2 million, the only way to know if you're one of them is to check. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, including small combolists like this one, so you can confirm in seconds whether your email or passwords have been exposed.
