One Upload. 847 Passwords. The PIECE PRIVATE 176 Combolist Leak.

HEROIC analysts found a combolist called PIECE PRIVATE 176 that a Telegram user uploaded on September 8, 2025. The file contains 847 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs of the accounts each login belongs to.

Why the PIECE PRIVATE 176 Leak Is Dangerous

The passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, so anyone who downloads it can read the credentials right away, with no cracking required. Each record also includes the URL the login was pulled from, which tells an attacker exactly which site to try each password on first before moving to other accounts.

What Was Exposed in the PIECE PRIVATE 176 Combolist

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the accounts the credentials belong to

Why This Matters for Anyone Reusing Passwords

One upload from one Telegram user turned 847 sets of credentials into a ready-made tool for credential stuffing, where attackers run each email and password pair against the matching site and any other service where the same password might work. If you reused a password linked to this leak, that account is at risk too, opening the door to account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud.

How a Combolist Like PIECE PRIVATE 176 Is Built

A combolist is a compiled file of email or username and password pairs, usually assembled from older breaches, stealer logs, or leaked databases and packaged into a single list. These lists are commonly shared for free in Telegram channels before spreading to dark web forums, where attackers test the credentials against popular websites to see which logins still work.

Check If You Are Affected

If you think your email or a password you use could be part of this leak, do not wait to find out. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your information against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like PIECE PRIVATE 176, so you can see what has been exposed and update any reused passwords right away.
