The Poland Combolist Leak Targeted 5,070 Email Accounts

The Poland Combolist Exposed 5,070 Email and Password Pairs

HEROIC analysts found a combolist named "Poland" uploaded to Telegram on November 12, 2024. The file contains 5,070 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs those credentials were tied to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every password in this combolist is stored in plain, readable text, so anyone who downloads it can use the credentials right away without needing to crack anything. Combined with matching URLs, an attacker knows exactly which site each login is meant for, making it simple to break into the account directly.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs

Why This Matters

A combolist like this one is exactly the kind of raw material criminals use for credential stuffing, testing the same email and password against dozens of websites at once. Since so many people reuse the same password everywhere, a single exposed login can open the door to banking apps, email, and social media accounts too, leading to account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud.

How This Combolist Was Likely Assembled

Combolists like "Poland" are typically pieced together from older breaches, phishing kits, or malware infected devices, then packaged into a single file and shared or sold on Telegram channels and dark web forums. Once in circulation, automated tools test every email and password pair against popular websites within minutes, flagging any credentials that still work.

Check If You Are Affected

If you want to know whether your email appears in this leak or any other, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks it against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records. It takes seconds to check, and if there's a match, changing that password right away can stop an attacker before they get in.
