Search Your Email: The STAKE_LOGS Stealer Dump Exposed 5,975 Accounts

What HEROIC Analysts Found in the STAKE_LOGS Stealer Log

On June 12, 2024, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file titled "STAKE_LOGS" after it was uploaded to a Telegram channel by an individual user. Unlike a simple combolist, this file was pulled directly from malware infected devices and contains 5,975 records covering endpoints, email addresses, API hosts, and plaintext passwords. The affected accounts are tied primarily to the United States.

Why This Is Dangerous

Stealer logs are considered more dangerous than a typical combolist because the data comes straight from an infected computer, meaning the passwords were captured at the moment someone actually typed them in. That gives an attacker working, current credentials rather than old, possibly changed ones, along with the exact site or service each login belongs to.

What Was Exposed in the STAKE_LOGS File

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs identifying the associated login pages and API endpoints

Why This Matters

With 5,975 records pulled from infected devices, attackers can run large scale credential stuffing campaigns against banking, email, and shopping accounts, often with a higher success rate than logins pulled from old breaches. Anyone in this file faces a real risk of account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft, especially if the infected device also had access to saved payment details or other personal accounts.

How a Stealer Log Like This Is Created

Stealer logs come from malware that infects a victim's device and quietly records everything typed into a browser, including usernames, passwords, and the web addresses of the sites being accessed. Once collected, the malware sends this data back to the attacker, who packages it into a file like STAKE_LOGS and shares or sells it in Telegram channels, giving buyers ready to use, verified credentials.

Check If You Are Affected

Because stealer log data tends to be more current and accurate than older breach dumps, it is worth checking your exposure right away. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can see whether your credentials appear in this leak or another one and update your passwords immediately.
