Researchers Find 216 Hotmail Logins in Rangersupporttt Leak

HEROIC researchers monitoring Telegram found a file named HOTMAIL HITS rangersupporttt in July 2026, containing 216 records. Each pairs a Hotmail or Outlook email address with a plaintext password and the URL it was used with. Why This Combolist Is Dangerous: The term 'hits' in the file name is cybercriminal shorthand for confirmed working logins, meaning the uploader is claiming these 216 accounts have already been verified. Because the file targets Hotmail and Outlook specifically, it is aimed at webmail accounts rather than a broad mix of sites. What Was Exposed: - Email addresses (Hotmail and Outlook) - Plaintext passwords - URLs tied to each login Why This Matters: Researchers point out that webmail accounts like these are often used to reset passwords on other services, so a compromised Hotmail inbox can quickly lead to a compromised bank account, shopping account, or social media profile. Even at 216 records, this is a real and immediate risk for everyone included. How a 'Hits' List Like This Gets Compiled: Uploaders using handles like rangersupporttt typically test batches of stolen or phished credentials against Hotmail's login page, keeping only the ones that successfully authenticate, then release the smaller confirmed list under a 'hits' label to signal its reliability to buyers. Check If You Are Affected: HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records. Run a scan to see if your Hotmail or Outlook login appears in this file or any other tracked breach.
