The RAZERTOP Telegram Stealer Log Exposed 2,523 US Accounts

In December 2022, HEROIC analysts discovered a stealer log file that was uploaded directly to Telegram by an anonymous threat actor. The exposure affected 2,523 records and contained login credentials harvested from real user devices. The data included email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the websites where those credentials were stolen from. This type of leak is notable because it bypasses the usual dark web marketplaces and gets shared openly on a messaging app anyone can access.

Why This Is Dangerous

When credentials are leaked in plaintext, attackers do not need to do any additional work to use them. They can immediately attempt to log in to the accounts listed in the file. Because many people reuse passwords across multiple sites, a single stolen password can open the door to email accounts, banking apps, social media, and more. The URLs included in this log also tell attackers exactly which sites the victims use, making targeted attacks much easier to carry out.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• Website URLs (endpoints where credentials were captured)

Why This Matters

Stealer log leaks like this one feed directly into credential stuffing attacks, where automated bots try stolen username and password combinations across hundreads of websites. Even if only a fraction of the 2,523 accounts are still active, the potential damage is real. Victims can face unauthorized access to their accounts, finantial fraud, identity theft, and the silent takeover of services they rely on every day. The fact that this data was shared openly on Telegram means it had a very wide potential audience among cybercriminals.

How Stealer Log Leaks Work

A stealer log is created when malware infects a device and quietly records everything the user types or saves in their browser. This includes passwords stored in Chrome or Firefox, login forms filled out on websites, and credentials cached in apps. The malware packages all of this into a log file and sends it back to the attacker. Those log files often end up being sold, shared, or uploaded to platforms like Telegram where other criminals can download and use them. The victim usually has no idea their information was captured until it shows up in a breach report or they notice suspicious activity on their accounts.
