Someone Has Your Password: 25,142 Ireland 7 Credentials Leaked

HEROIC discovered a stealer log dataset labeled Ireland 7 posted on Telegram in February 2023. The file exposes 25,142 records stolen from infected devices, each containing an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the service the victim was logged into when the malware captured their credentials.

Your Password in Plaintext Means Immediate Risk

Every password in the Ireland 7 leak is stored exactly as the user typed it, with no encryption or hashing whatsoever. This means anyone who downloads this dataset can read your password directly and use it immediately. There is no delay, no decryption step, and no technical skill required. If your password appears in this leak, it is fully exposed and ready to be used against you right now.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (Irish and international service login pages)

One Leaked Password Can Compromise Everything

Credential stuffing is the primary threat following a leak like this. Attackers take the 25,142 email-password pairs and run them through automated scripts targeting major services like Gmail, Microsoft 365, online banking, and social media. If you used the same password for an Irish government portal, your email account, and your online banking, all three are now vulnerable from a single leaked credential. The speed of these automated attacks means accounts can be compromised within hours of a dataset being shared.

The Invisible Threat: Infostealer Malware

The credentials in this leak were not stolen through a website hack. They were extracted directly from victims' computers by infostealer malware. This type of malware typically infiltrates devices through deceptive downloads, pirated software, or email attachments. Once running, it silently captures every password stored in browsers, along with cookies and form data. Victims rarely realize they have been infected until their accounts are compromised, making stealer logs an especially dangerous source of credential exposure.

Check If Your Credentials Were Exposed

Do not wait to find out the hard way. If you are based in Ireland or use services popular among Irish users, your credentials may be in this leak. HEROIC's breach scanner searches across more than 400 billion compromised records to tell you instantly whether your email or password has been exposed. Check now and change any compromised passwords before they are used against you.
