Scrooge Free Logs Breach: 4,578 Passwords Leaked for Free

HEROIC analysts flagged a stealer log titled Scrooge Free Logs 13.06.2026 700 PCS, given away for free on a Telegram channel in June 2026. The file contained 4,578 records, each combining an email address, a plaintext password, and the exact URL the login was captured from.

Why "Free" Makes This Worse

Most stealer logs are sold for a price, which naturally limits who can get their hands on them. This one was handed out for free, meaning far more people, including low-skill opportunists with no real hacking ability, could download it and immediately start testing the credentials inside. When sensitive login data circulates without any cost barrier, the pool of potential attackers grows dramatically.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (the exact websites tied to each login)

Why This Matters

Free access does not make this data any less dangerous. Plaintext passwords matched to real login pages are exactly what's needed for credential stuffing, where automated tools try the same email and password combo across dozens of sites. If a password shows up here and elsewhere, the victim faces real risk of account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud, all without the attacker spending a single dollar.

How Stealer Logs End Up Given Away for Free

Infostealer malware infects devices through fake downloads, pirated software, or phishing links, then quietly harvests saved passwords, autofill entries, and session cookies from the browser. Some sellers package this data and sell it privately, while others release samples or entire batches for free to build a reputation on Telegram or attract buyers for future, larger logs. Either way, the credentials inside are often just as real and just as usable as data sold for a premium price.

Check If You Are Affected

Free logs like this one move fast once they're shared. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs pulled from Telegram, so you can find out in seconds whether your credentials were part of this giveaway and act before someone else does.
