899,978 Plaintext Passwords Exposed in ScorpionLogs PUBLIC28 Leak

HEROIC analysts found 899,978 email and password pairs inside a combolist file called ScorpionLogs ULP PUBLIC28. The file, uploaded to Telegram on 10-Aug-2024, stored every password in plaintext, meaning anyone who opens it can read your password directly. It also listed the exact web address tied to each login. The only way to know if your own information is inside this file is to scan your email.

Why Plaintext Passwords Raise the Stakes

Because every password in this file is stored in plaintext, an attacker does not need to crack or guess anything, they can read it the moment they open the file. Paired with the matching email address and the exact URL where that login works, someone can plug the pair directly into that site and get in immediately if the password has not changed since. The bigger danger is not this one file alone, it is every other site where the same password was reused.

The Data Inside This File

• Email Addresses: confirms a live, active inbox worth targeting.
• Plaintext Password: readable immediately, no cracking needed before reuse elsewhere.
• URLs: shows attackers exactly which site or service each login unlocks.

Real Consequences Of This Exposure

Because every record pairs a live email address with a readable password and the exact site it unlocks, the most immediate risk is account takeover: an attacker tries that same password on other sites the same person is likely to use. Confirmed active inboxes also become better phishing targets, since scammers know the address gets checked. Anyone who reused this password anywhere else should treat those logins as exposed too.

How Combolists Like This Get Built

A combolist like this is not the result of one company being hacked, it is a compiled collection of email and password pairs pulled from earlier leaks and then checked against other websites to see where the same login still works. Whoever assembled this file has already confirmed the credentials are valid somewhere, they just have not announced exactly where. Anyone who reuses a password anywhere becomes exposed the moment a file like this circulates.

What To Do About ScorpionLogs PUBLIC28

Start by scanning your email to see if your address appears in this file or others like it.

If you get a match, change that password everywhere you have used it, prioritizing your email and financial logins first since those are the hardest to lose control of. This applies to personal and work email addresses alike, since both show up in files like this one.
