Remote Workers and API Users Targeted in the 35,640-Record Snakes_folders Stealer Log

In July 2025, a Telegram user distributed a stealer log tied to Snakes_folders, exposing 35,640 records containing plaintext passwords, email addresses, and endpoint URLs. The nature of the captured data -- API hosts and service endpoints alongside plain-text credentials -- points to a dataset that disproportionatley targets remote workers, developers, and anyone who accesses corporate systems from personal devices.

Why This Is Dangerous

This breach is especially dangerous because it combines identity data with infrastructure data. Plaintext passwords allow instant account takeover. Endpoint and API host URLs reveal exactly which corporate systems, cloud services, and internal tools each victim was using. Attackers do not need to guess -- they have a map. For businesses with remote employees, this type of stealer log can serve as the entry point for ransomware deployments and lateral network movement.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (API hosts and endpoint data revealing services in use)

Why This Matters

Stealer logs that include endpoint URLs are significantly more valueable to attackers than basic credential dumps. Each URL tells an attacker which platforms and internal systems the victim had access to. Combined with 35,640 plaintext passwords, this dataset is a ready-made toolkit for targeted corporate intrusions. Remote workers who use personal devices for work are especially at risk: their machines are more likely to be infected by infostealers and less likely to be covered by enterprise security monitoring.

How Stealer Logs Work

Infostealer malware infects devices through phishing emails, fake software installers, and malicious browser extensions. Once active, it silently harvests credentials saved in browsers and applications, records URLs of accessed services, and captures login data in plain text. The collected logs are packaged and sold or shared on Telegram channels and dark web forums, where cybercriminals purchasse them to launch credential stuffing and account takeover campaigns.
