Researchers Link the Tokyo Cloud FREE86 Logs to 1,838 Stolen Logins

On 02-Jul-2024, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log named TOKYO CLOUD FREE86 circulating on Telegram. The file contains 1,838 records harvested from infected devices, each including an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the account it belongs to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every one of these 1,838 records was captured directly from a compromised device, meaning the passwords work exactly as typed. An attacker doesn't need to crack or guess anything, only open the listed URL and enter the credentials already provided.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs for each affected login

Why This Matters

Files labeled "FREE" like this one are often distributed widely on Telegram at no cost, specifically to attract more criminals into using and testing the data, which increases the odds that any given record gets tried against multiple websites. If your credentials are among these 1,838 records and you reuse passwords, other accounts you own could be at risk too.

How Stealer Logs Work

Stealer logs are produced by information-stealing malware that runs on an infected device and copies saved browser passwords, autofill entries, and session data. That data is then packaged under a distinct name, in this case "TOKYO CLOUD FREE86," and shared freely on Telegram to build a following before later batches are sold.

Check If You Are Affected

Free-to-access logs like this one circulate widely, so it's worth checking your exposure. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion exposed records, including this stealer log, so you can confirm whether you're affected.
