17,091 Accounts Are Compromised: The Obsidian Project Leak

17,091 accounts are compromised right now because of a file called Obsidian Project. Work backward from that fact and you land on a stealer log uploaded to Telegram on 27-May-2026, packed with plaintext passwords and the exact web addresses they belong to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Starting from the outcome instead of the cause makes the danger easier to grasp. Those 17,091 compromised accounts aren't a future risk, they represent logins that already work for whoever holds the file today. The name Obsidian Project gives away nothing about what's inside, which is exactly the point of naming it that way.

What Was Exposed

• 17,091 email addresses connected to accounts in the United States
• Plaintext passwords stored with absolutely no encryption applied
• URLs revealing precisely which login page each password unlocks

Why This Matters

When the compromise already happened before anyone hears about it, reacting quickly becomes the only real defense left. It's not a matter of preventing the Obsidian Project leak at this point, it's a matter of limiting what it can still do to the people whose credentials are inside it. People often relize this too late, once a password has already been reused somewhere important.

How Stealer Logs Work

Working backward through how Obsidian Project came together, it starts with malware infecting a device through a download or link the victim trusted, then quietly reading every saved credential the browser holds. That data gets packaged, labeled with a code name, and shipped out through Telegram, wich is precisely the path this file took before landing in front of anyone reading this now.

Check If You Are Affected

Since the compromise already exists, the only question left is whether you know about your own exposure yet. HEROIC's free scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, covering breaches exactly like Obsidian Project, so you can find out fast and act while it still matters.
