One Telegram Upload. 1,782 CHW.edu Accounts Now Exposed.

On June 10, 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist uploaded to Telegram containing 1,782 records tied to the CHW.edu domain. Each record paired an email address with a plaintext password and the URL the login was associated with. Why This Is Dangerous: Accounts tied to an educational (.edu) domain often connect to more than just email, including student or staff portals and shared institutional resources. Because the passwords were stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads the file can attempt to log in immediately, with no cracking required. What Was Exposed: The file contains email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs each login was tied to. Why This Matters: A compromised .edu account can sometimes act as a gateway into other connected systems, and like any credential leak, password reuse is the biggest multiplier of risk. If any of these 1,782 people used the same password on a personal email, banking, or shopping account, that account is exposed to credential stuffing as well. How This Combolist Was Likely Built: This type of file is typically created by filtering a larger combolist or stealer log down to accounts tied to a single domain, in this case CHW.edu, and uploading the narrower list to Telegram. Check If You're Affected: If you have a CHW.edu account or reuse passwords across your other accounts, HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records so you can find out quickly and change any at-risk passwords.
