Someone Has Your Password: 389 Credentials in the Good Dump

HEROIC's dark web surveillance identified a stealer log file labeled "Good" that was uploaded to Telegram in July 2026. The file contains 389 records, each including an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL where the credential was captured. Despite its innocuous name, this stealer log delivers everything an attacker needs to compromise the exposed accounts without any additional effort.

Why Plaintext Passwords Leave You Defenseless

Every password in this stealer log is stored in its raw, unencrypted form. There is no hashing, no salting, no barrier between an attacker and your account. Credentials in this format can be copied and pasted directly into a login page, making account takeover as simple as reading a line of text.

The 389 victims in the Good stealer log are immediately vulnerable. If any of them reuse their exposed password across other services — banking, social media, email, or workplace platforms — each of those accounts is equally at risk. A single plaintext password can become the key to an entire digital life.

What Was Exposed in the Good Dump

• Email Addresses — Login identifiers that reveal which services each victim uses and serve as targets for phishing campaigns designed to extract even more sensitive data.
• Plaintext Passwords — Unencrypted credentials captured directly from infected devices, immediately usable against the associated accounts and any other services sharing the same password.
• URLs — The specific websites and login pages where each credential was intercepted, showing attackers exactly which services to target with the stolen credentials.

Why Even 389 Stolen Credentials Cause Widespread Damage

A stealer log does not need to contain millions of records to be dangerous. Each of the 389 entries in this dump represents a real person whose password was captured from their device in real time. These are not old, recycled credentials from a historical breach — they are freshly harvested and highly likely to still be valid.

Attackers use stolen credentials in automated stuffing attacks that test each email and password combination across hundreds of popular services within minutes. With a 60% or higher rate of password reuse among internet users, a significant portion of these 389 credentials will unlock accounts far beyond the original sites where they were captured.

How Stealer Logs Harvest Credentials Without You Knowing

Infostealer malware operates silently on infected devices, capturing credentials as users type them or extracting them from browser password managers. The malware intercepts data in real time, recording the email address, password, and URL for every login the victim performs. It also captures saved credentials, session cookies, and autofill data.

Once collected, the stolen data is compiled into organized log files and distributed through channels like Telegram, where buyers and other threat actors can access them freely. The "Good" label on this particular file is simply the name chosen by the uploader — the data inside is genuine and immediately exploitable regardless of the file's branding.

Check If Your Credentials Were Exposed

With stealer logs appearing on Telegram daily, you cannot assume your accounts are safe. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches more than 400 billion compromised records to determine whether your email and password appear in this stealer log or any other known data breach.

If your credentials are found, change the compromised password immediately on every service where you used it. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible, and run a full malware scan on your devices to ensure no infostealer remains active and harvesting new credentials.
