The PegasusClud Leak Could Unlock Your Email, Logins, and More

HEROIC analysts examined a stealer log named "PegasusClud," uploaded to Telegram in June 2024. The file contains 8,898 records: email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts those credentials belong to, all pulled directly from infected devices.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer logs rarely capture just one account per victim. When malware harvests saved browser passwords, it typically grabs everything stored on that device at once, meaning a single infection can hand attackers a chain of accounts: email, banking, shopping, and social media all in one package.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs for each corresponding account

Why This Matters

Because email is often the recovery point for other accounts, a compromised email login from this file could let an attacker reset passwords elsewhere and work their way through a victim's entire digital footprint, not just the account the credentials were originally tied to.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs come from info-stealing malware that infects a device, often through pirated downloads or malicious attachments, then quietly copies saved passwords, autofill data, and browser session information before sending it back to the attacker. These logs are then organized, named, in this case "PegasusClud", and distributed on Telegram to buyers looking for fresh, working credentials.
