On 13-May-2026, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist simply labeled others shared on Telegram. The file contains 1,115 email and plaintext password pairs, along with the URLs tied to each login, grouped together as a miscellaneous batch that didn't fit a more specific category.


Why This Is Dangerous

Being labeled "others" doesn't make these credentials any less real. Each of the 1,115 pairs is a working email and plaintext password combination matched to its login URL, meaning an attacker can attempt to sign in immediately, with no cracking required.


What Was Exposed

  • Email addresses
  • Plaintext passwords
  • URLs for each affected login

Why This Matters

Catch-all batches like this one are often assembled from credentials that didn't match a specific website or provider theme, but they're just as usable in credential stuffing attacks. If your email appears among these 1,115 records, and you've reused that password anywhere else, those accounts are at risk too.


How Combolists Work

A combolist is created by pulling email and password pairs from older breaches and stealer logs, then testing them with automated checker tools to confirm they still work. Credentials that don't fit into a themed list, such as one grouped by email provider, often end up bundled into a generic file labeled "others" and shared on Telegram along with the more specific batches.


Check If You Are Affected

Generic-sounding files like this one still expose real accounts. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion exposed records, including this combolist, so you can confirm your exposure and update your password.
