Researchers Trace 2,704 Leaked Logins to the private_results Dump

In July 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist named "private_results_1783853370" uploaded to a Telegram channel. Despite its generic, auto-generated-looking file name, the list contains 2,704 real records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and a linked URL. Why This Is Dangerous The credentials in this file are stored in plaintext, meaning anyone who downloads it can use them immediately with no additional effort. The file's numeric, non-descriptive name is common for private combolists meant to be shared quietly between a small group, which often means the data hasn't been picked over yet and could still be fresh and unused by other attackers. What Was Exposed in the private_results Combolist Email addresses Plaintext passwords URLs linked to each login Why This Matters A file of 2,704 credentials is more than enough to power an automated credential stuffing run against major websites, testing each email and password pair in seconds. Anyone in this file who reused their password elsewhere is at risk of having a banking, shopping, or social media account taken over, sometimes without any warning until the damage is already done. How Privately-Labeled Combolists Like This Get Shared Files named with random numbers or "private" tags, like this one, are often kept out of public channels initially and shared only among a smaller circle of buyers or trusted contacts before eventually leaking more broadly. Researchers spotted this file after it moved into more accessible Telegram channels, which is typically the point when a private combolist starts reaching a wider, less trustworthy audience. Check If You Are Affected Even a quietly-shared combolist like this one can include your information. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion leaked records and tells you instantly if your email address has been exposed, so you can update your password before it's used against you.
