The processed_20250801_172053 Dump: 2,032 Stolen Logins Hit Telegram

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file named processed_20250801_172053, uploaded to a Telegram channel on August 1, 2025. The file contains 2,032 records made up of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those credentials were used to log into.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this log are stored in plaintext and matched directly to a URL, an attacker can open the file and immediately log in as the victim on the exact sites the malware recorded, with no cracking or guesswork required.

What Was Exposed in the processed_20250801_172053 Stealer Log

• Email addresses tied to infected devices
• Plaintext passwords, stored with no encryption
• URLs showing exactly which sites and services each login belongs to

Why This Matters

With 2,032 records exposed, this log gives attackers a ready list for credential stuffing against email providers, banks, and social media platforms. Anyone whose credentials appear here faces a real risk of account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud, often without knowing their device was ever compromised.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is created by malware that infects a device, often through a fake download, cracked software, or a malicious attachment. Once running, it quietly copies saved logins and browsing data out of the browser and sends everything back to the attacker. That stolen information is bundled into a file, like processed_20250801_172053, and shared or sold through Telegram channels. Because the malware captures whatever is saved on the device at once, a single infection can expose logins to several unrelated accounts.

Check If You Are Affected

If you are unsure whether your device has ever been infected with stealer malware, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records. It takes seconds to see if you are exposed, so you can change any at-risk passwords right away.
