PegasusCloud.part01 Quietly Exposed Exactly 9,673 Logins

Exactly 9,673 records, no more, no less: that is the count HEROIC analysts confirmed inside a stealer log named PegasusCloud.part01, uploaded to a Telegram channel on August 8, 2024. Each record pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the site it was used on, and scanning your email is the only way to know if yours is among those 9,673 entries.

Why This Is Dangerous

None of the passwords in this file were hashed or encrypted, so each one can be read and reused exactly as it was typed. The .part01 naming suggests more segments may exist beyond this one, meaning the full scope of what was taken could extend further than this file alone.

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each saved login

A precise, moderate-sized file like this one is often worked through carefully rather than skimmed, with each login checked against email providers, banking sites, and other common services. Reusing a password is what allows a single exposed record to compromise more than one account at once.

A file like PegasusCloud.part01 is produced by malware that ran on an infected device, quietly copying saved browser logins along with the exact web addresses they belonged to. No company database was involved; the source was a compromised personal machine instead.

Check If Your Login Is Among the 9,673

Scan your email to see if it appears in this file or other known exposures. If it matches, change that password immediately and anywhere else you reused it, this applies to personal email and work email alike.
