Search Your Email: The skull_roses Stealer Log Exposed 38,067 Accounts

HEROIC Analysts Uncovered 38,067 Records in the skull_roses Stealer Log

In July 2025, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded by an anonymous Telegram user operating under the handle skull_roses. The file, part of what appears to be a 710-count batch upload, exposed 38,067 records containing active endpoint credentials, email addresses, and associated URLs. The data was collected via malware installed on victim devices and shared across private Telegram channels before being indexed in our breach database.

Why This Data Is Dangerous in the Wrong Hands

Stealer log data is among the most immediately actionable breach material available to cybercriminals. Unlike older database dumps, stealer logs capture credentials at the moment of use — meaning the passwords are almost certainly still active. Attackers who recieve this kind of data can log into email accounts, banking portals, and work systems within minutes. The inclusion of URLs alongside credentials tells attackers exactly which site each password belongs to, removing any guesswork.

What Was Exposed

The skull_roses stealer log contained the following categories of personal and account data:

• Email Addresses — used as login usernames across dozens of platforms
• Plaintext Passwords — captured in cleartext, immediately usable without any cracking
• URLs — the exact web addresses where each credential set was harvested

Why This Matters for Anyone in the Dataset

When plaintext passwords and email addresses are exposed together with their associated URLs, the risk is not just account takeover on one platform. Most people reuse passwords across multiple sites. Attackers use a technique called credential stuffing — they take the exposed email and password combination and try it automatically across hundreds of other services: banking apps, social media, cloud storage, and shopping platforms. A single stealer log record can definitaly lead to a cascade of compromised accounts. Identity theft and financial fraud are common outcomes once attackers gain a foothold.

How Stealer Log Malware Works

Stealer logs are created by a category of malware known as information stealers. These programs are typically delivered through phishing emails, cracked software downloads, or malicious browser extensions. Once installed on a victim's device, the malware silently monitors activity and harvests credentials as users type them into websites. The collected data is packaged into log files and transmitted back to the attacker — sometimes within hours of infection. The logs are then sold on darknet markets or shared freely in private Telegram groups to build reputation. The skull_roses upload is consistent with this distribution pattern.
