The PIECE PRIVATE 31 Leak: 974 Passwords Exposed. Yours?

In July 2025, a Telegram user uploaded a combolist labeled "PIECE PRIVATE 31," exposing 974 records tied to United States accounts. Dated 02-Jul-2025, the file contains email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those credentials were originally used on.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains it can use each email and password pair immediately, without cracking or guessing anything. Paired with the URLs showing which site each login belongs to, an attacker has everything needed to start logging into accounts right away.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs linking each credential to its original site

Why This Matters

A leak of 974 records may sound small, but each one is a working email and password combination. If yours is among them and you have reused that password on other sites, an attacker can use credential stuffing to break into your email, banking, or shopping accounts, leading to account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft.

How Combolist Leaks Work

Combolists like "PIECE PRIVATE 31" are usually compiled from older breaches, stealer logs, and phishing pages rather than a single company being hacked directly. Once assembled, they get packaged and distributed on Telegram, where other criminals buy or trade them to run automated login attempts against popular websites.

Check If You Are Affected

With 974 passwords now circulating, the odds that one of them is yours are real. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one, so you can find out right now and change any reused passwords before someone else does.
