Search Your Email: The prdscloud Stealer Log Exposed 426 Accounts

In August 2023, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded to Telegram by an anonymous user, tracked under the name prdscloud 1 100logs. The log exposed 426 records containing email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs from compromised endpoints. This type of data does not come from a hacked website database. It comes directly from infected devices, meaning every credential in this file was actively stolen from a real person's machine at the moment they typed it.

Why the prdscloud Stealer Log Is Dangerous

What makes this log particularly alarming is that the passwords are stored in plaintext. There is no hashing, no encryption, no barrier between an attacker and a working login. Anyone who downloads this file gets a ready-to-use list of email and password combinations. Paired with the captured URLs, attackers know exactly which services those credentials belong to, so they can target specific accounts without any guesswork. That combination of plaintext passwords and known target URLs turns 426 records into 426 potential account takeovers.

What Was Exposed in the prdscloud Stealer Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords (unencrypted, immediately usable)
• URLs (revealing which websites and services were targeted)
• API host endpoints

Why This Matters

Plaintext passwords are the most dangerous form of exposed credential. When a password is hashed, attackers must crack it first. When it is plaintext, they can log in immediately. Combined with the email addresses and URLs in this log, the risk is not theoretical. Attackers can attempt direct logins to email services, cloud platforms, and any other service whose URL appears in the data. If you reuse the same password across accounts, a single stolen credential can cascade into a full account takeover across multiple platforms, including email, banking, and cloud storage.

How Stealer Logs Like prdscloud Work

A stealer log is not the result of a company being hacked. It is the result of malware installed on a victim's personal computer or work device. This malware, often called an infostealer, silently records keystrokes, captures saved browser passwords, and harvests session cookies as the user goes about their normal activity. Once the malware has collected enough data, it packages everything into a log file and transmits it to the attacker. Those log files are then sold or shared on platforms like Telegram, where other criminals can purchase them or, as in this case, receive them for free. The victim often has no idea their credentials have been stolen until their accounts are compromised.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC maintains a breach database of over 400 billion records, including stealer logs like this one. You can search your email address for free using HEROIC's breach scanner to find out whether your credentials appeared in the prdscloud log or any other known breach.
