The sample-poland File Means Someone Could Be Logging In Right Now

Somewhere right now, someone could be typing one of 46 email addresses into a login page, followed by the plaintext password sitting next to it in a file called sample-poland. HEROIC analysts found the file on Telegram, uploaded in August 2026, with every password stored in readable form alongside the URL it unlocks. Scanning your email tells you whether that scenario involves your account.

Why This Isn't Just a Hypothetical

Nothing about a plaintext combolist requires special tools or time to use. The moment someone downloads this file, they can start working through the 46 entries, trying each one against the matching login page. There's no waiting on a slow cracking process here, just a straightforward attempt to log in with exactly what the file already provides.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses: identify the account tied to each of the 46 records.
• Plaintext passwords: readable and usable immediately, with nothing to crack.
• URLs: point directly to the login page each credential belongs to.

What Happens if It's Already in Progress

A successful login gives an attacker the same access the real account holder has, including the ability to change recovery details and lock the original owner out.

How a File Like sample-poland Gets Assembled

Combolists like this are built by gathering email and password pairs from various sources, checking which ones still work, and bundling the confirmed entries into a single file for resale or reuse.

Make Sure It Isn't You

Scan your email to check the sample-poland list. If you're on it, change that password now and anywhere else you reused it, from a device you trust. This holds for personal and work email accounts both.
