How 8,482 Logins Ended Up in the PegasusCloud.part06 File

8,482 records of stolen logins now sit inside a file called PegasusCloud.part06, uploaded to a Telegram channel on August 1, 2024. Each record pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the URL where that password was typed in, giving a fuller picture of what infostealer malware pulled from infected machines. Checking whether your own address is part of that count takes under a minute.

Why This Log Is Dangerous

Because every password here is stored in readable plaintext, there is no delay between finding this file and using what's in it. An attacker doesn't need to crack anything, they can copy an email and password pair and try logging in immediately, using the captured URL to know exactly where to aim.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses: the login identifier attackers pair with the stolen password.
• Plaintext passwords: fully readable and ready to use without any cracking step.
• URLs: identifies the exact site or service tied to each stolen credential.

Why It Matters

Anyone who reused this password on other accounts is exposed well beyond the original login. Attackers routinely test stolen credentials against email providers, banking portals, and workplace logins, so one compromised password can cascade into a much larger takeover.

How This Kind of File Gets Built

PegasusCloud.part06 was not pulled from a company's servers. Info-stealing malware sat on victims' own devices, quietly logging saved and typed browser credentials, then packaging them for sale or free distribution on Telegram. The infection itself is the root problem, not just the leaked accounts.

Is Your Email in the PegasusCloud.part06 Count?

Run a free scan your email to check against HEROIC's records first. If your address is listed, assume the source device is still compromised: clean it or reset it before doing anything else, then log in from a different device to change passwords, starting with email and financial accounts. The same steps apply whether the affected address is personal or a work inbox.
