Piece – 1264 HITS HOTMAILS 100 VALID uploaded by a Telegram User: 1,282 Leaked

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled "Piece - 1264 HITS HOTMAILS 100 VALID," uploaded to a Telegram channel on May 24, 2025. The file contained 1,282 records of email addresses paired with plaintext passwords and the URLs of the accounts they unlock, with the uploader marking the credentials as verified and working.

Why a "Valid" Label Makes This Combolist Riskier

Most combolists are collections of old, unverified credentials that may no longer work. This one is different: the uploader specifically marked the entries as "100 valid," meaning someone already tested the logins and confirmed they still function. That single detail turns a modest list of 1,282 records into a higher-value target, since attackers know every entry has a real chance of working on the first try.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses (Hotmail accounts)
• Plaintext passwords
• Account URLs

Why This Matters

Even a small combolist like this one can cause real harm to the people in it. If your email and password appear here, and you have reused that password elsewhere, attackers can move quickly from your inbox to your other accounts, including banking or social media. Verified credential lists like this are often used for account takeover, spam campaigns, or as a stepping stone into a person's wider digital identity.

How Combolists Work

A combolist pairs email addresses or usernames with matching passwords in a simple text file, usually pulled together from older leaks, phishing pages, or malware infections. When an uploader labels a list "valid," it typically means they ran the credentials through an automated checker that confirms the login still works, saving other criminals the effort and making the list more attractive to buy or trade.

Check If You Are Affected

Even at 1,282 records, this combolist is worth checking against your own email address. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records, including this list, so you can find out in seconds if your credentials were exposed and secure your accounts before anyone uses them.
