HEROIC Analysts Found 31,537 SpaceAdviser Records on the Dark Web

If your email address was ever used to contact a real estate agent through SpaceAdviser, there is a real chance it is sitting in a file HEROIC analysts found online. The file holds 31,537 client, lead, and agent records pulled from the company's database, including phone numbers and hashed passwords. Scanning your email is the only way to know for certain whether you are one of them.

What a Hashed Password Still Puts at Risk

The passwords in this file were not stored as plain text, they were scrambled using MD5, a hashing method that security professionals consider weak and often crackable with modern tools. Even before any password is cracked, the names, phone numbers, and emails on their own are enough to fuel convincing scams.

What the SpaceAdviser Records Contained

• Email Address: a direct line for phishing messages pretending to be from an agent or the platform.
• Username: often reused on other sites and services.
• First Name and Last Name: gives a scammer enough to sound credible on a call or in a message.
• Phone Number: opens the door to scam calls referencing a real property inquiry.
• Password Hash: scrambled rather than readable, but not out of reach for someone willing to try cracking it.

Why This Matters If You Ever Contacted an Agent There

Buyers, renters, and agents in this file could see targeted phishing that references a real listing or inquiry, and if a cracked password was reused elsewhere, that other account is now at risk too.

How a Real Estate Database Ends Up on Telegram

This is a company's own records, not malware pulled from someone's laptop. Once an attacker gets into a business database like this, every client, lead, and agent record it has ever stored can be copied out at once and later traded in pieces on Telegram.

Is Your Email in the SpaceAdviser File?

Scan your email to see your information. If you recognize SpaceAdviser and reused that password anywhere else, change it there first, since a hashed password is not the same as a safe one. This applies to personal and work email addresses alike.
