saymail.co.za Stealer Log: 596 Passwords Leaked Since June 2026

In June 2026, a threat actor uploaded a stealer log file to a Telegram channel containing 596 records tied to saymail.co.za. The data includes email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs, pulled directly from malware-infected devices rather than from any breach of saymail.co.za's own servers.

Why This saymail.co.za Credential Dump Is Dangerous

Stealer logs are especially dangerous because the passwords inside them are captured in plaintext, straight from the browser or app where a victim typed them. There is no hashing or encryption standing between an attacker and your actual login. Anyone who gets hold of this file can try these email and password combinations immediately, with no cracking required.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs (the sites or services each credential was used on)

Why This Matters

Even a small leak like this one can do outsized damage. Attackers routinely feed stolen email and password pairs into automated tools that test the same combination across hundreds of other websites, a technique known as credential stuffing. If you reused this password anywhere else, including banking, email, or shopping accounts, those accounts are now at risk of account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud.

How Stealer Log Leaks Happen

Stealer logs come from infostealer malware, malicious software that infects a victim's computer or phone, often through a fake download, cracked software, or phishing link. Once installed, it quietly harvests saved passwords, autofill data, and browsing activity straight from the browser, then packages it into a log file. Criminals collect these logs from thousands of infected devices and sell or share them in bulk on Telegram and dark web marketplaces, exactly how this 596-record file surfaced.

Check If You Are Affected

You do not have to wonder whether your information showed up in this leak or any other one. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out in seconds and take action before an attacker does.
