Your Data May Be Exposed: ROMANTIC_CLAUD Leak Hit 12,772 Records

12,772 Records Exposed in the ROMANTIC_CLAUD Combolist

HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled "ROMANTIC_CLAUD" that a Telegram user uploaded on 12-Jul-2026. The file contains 12,772 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with the URLs of the websites those credentials unlock.

Why This Is Dangerous

This combolist hands anyone who downloads it thousands of ready-to-use login pairs. Because each entry lists a username, password, and destination URL together, an attacker does not need to guess anything, they can simply attempt to log in.

What Was Exposed in the ROMANTIC_CLAUD Combolist

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each login pair

Why This Matters

Because the passwords in this combolist are stored in plain, readable text, anyone who obtains the file can use them immediately. Attackers typically run combolists like this one through automated tools that test each email and password pair against banking portals, email providers, and shopping sites, a technique known as credential stuffing. If any of the 12,772 people in this file reused a password elsewhere, that one exposed login can turn into a hijacked account, unauthorized charges, or worse.

How Combolists Like This One Work

A combolist is a file that pairs stolen or previously leaked usernames and passwords into rows that other criminals can plug straight into automated login tools. Some entries come from older breaches, others from malware that harvested credentials directly off infected devices. Once assembled, lists like ROMANTIC_CLAUD circulate on Telegram channels and dark web forums, where anyone can download them and start testing logins within minutes.

Check If You Are Affected

If your email address might be among the 12,772 records in this combolist, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks it against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one. Run a free scan to see if your credentials were exposed, and update any password you have reused elsewhere.
