The SfAS Project Dump: 19,922 Passwords Exposed Online

HEROIC's threat research team identified SfAS Project, a stealer log file shared on Telegram on August 7, 2026. The file contains 19,922 records harvested directly from malware-infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts they unlock.

Why This Is Dangerous

Unlike an old database dump, a stealer log is often fresh. The credentials inside were captured directly from a victim's browser or saved-password vault at the moment their device was infected, which means the passwords are more likely to still be active. Paired with the exact login URL, an attacker has everything needed to walk straight into an account without guessing.

What Was Exposed

Inside the SfAS Project File

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• The URLs of the accounts and services each password unlocks

Nearly 20,000 records were bundled into this single file, all in ready-to-use plaintext.

Why This Matters

• Account takeover: Working credentials paired with the exact login page make it trivial for an attacker to sign in as the victim.
• Credential stuffing: Even where a direct match fails, criminals test the same email-and-password combination across other popular sites.
• Identity and financial exposure: Stealer logs frequently expose access to email, shopping, and financial accounts in the same file, giving attackers a fuller picture of a victim's digital life.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

Stealer logs come from information-stealing malware, often hidden inside cracked software, fake game cheats, or phishing attachments. Once installed on a victim's device, the malware quietly copies saved passwords, autofill data, and browsing history from the browser, then sends everything back to the attacker in a single file known as a "log." Criminals collect thousands of these logs and repackage them, like the SfAS Project file, for sale or free distribution on Telegram channels dedicated to stolen data.

Check If You Are Affected

You don't have to guess whether your information is part of a leak like this one. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion compromised records, including stealer logs, combolists, and confirmed corporate breaches. If a match turns up, HEROIC will show you exactly what was exposed and walk you through the steps to secure your accounts.
