PegasusClaud.20 Stealer Log Leaked 9,431 Plaintext Records

PegasusClaud.20 is a stealer log. It surfaced on November 27, 2023. It contains 9,431 records. No padding, no filler, just raw stolen data ready for anyone who finds the Telegram channel it was posted in.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer logs skip the middleman. There's no database to breach, no encryption to break. Malware sitting on an infected computer grabs the login straight from the browser and hands it over in plaintext. That means whoever opens this file can use the credentials immediately, with zero technical skill neccessary.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses pulled from infected browsers
• Plaintext passwords with no encryption whatsoever
• URLs identifying which specific accounts each login opens

Small file, real damage. Fewer than ten thousand records doesn't mean fewer than ten thousand people at risk, it often means several times that once shared passwords and linked accounts are counted.

Why This Matters

Size isn't the danger here, freshness is. Stealer logs capture whatever was active on a device at the moment of infection, so the credentials tend to still work when the file surfaces. That's very different from an old breach dump full of passwords people changed years ago.

How Stealer Logs Like This Get Built

Info-stealing malware gets installed through cracked software, fake browser updates, or malicious downloads. It runs quietly, scrapes saved passwords and autofill fields, then bundles everything into a log file named after whoever built or distributed the malware, in this case the name PegasusClaud. The file gets uploaded to Telegram and traded from there.

Check If You Are Affected

Check now. HEROIC's free scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs exactly like this one, and tells you fast if your email is in there. If it is, change the password. Don't asume it's fine just because the count is small.
