Dark Web Intel: 5,460 Credentials From the SNATCH_CLOUD 326PCS Leak

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file labeled "21.09 SNATCH_CLOUD 326PCS FREE" uploaded to a public Telegram channel on September 21, 2023. The file contained 5,460 records taken from infected devices, pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs and API hosts those logins connect to. The "FREE" label suggests this batch was given away at no cost, likely to build a following for the group behind the SNATCH_CLOUD name before selling future batches.

Why the SNATCH_CLOUD 326PCS Leak Is Dangerous

Every password in this file sits in plaintext, so an attacker can use it the moment they download the file, no cracking required. Because each record also lists the URL or API host tied to the credential, an attacker can go straight to the exact service a victim used instead of guessing.

What the SNATCH_CLOUD 326PCS Leak Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated URLs and API hosts tied to each credential

Why This Matters for Password Reuse

Free credential dumps like this one circulate widely and quickly among attackers, making them popular fuel for credential stuffing, where automated tools try each stolen email and password combination across banking, email, and shopping sites. If any of the 5,460 people in this leak reused a password elsewhere, they are at risk of account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft.

How Stealer Logs Like SNATCH_CLOUD Work

Infostealer malware infects a device, often through a malicious download or phishing link, and quietly copies saved passwords, autofill entries, and API access details straight out of the browser. That stolen data is packaged into a log file and distributed, sometimes sold and sometimes, as with this batch, given away free to spread quickly. Because the credentials come directly from the victim's own browser, they tend to be accurate and current at the time of infection.
