STARLINKLOGS v.3 Contains Exactly 79,385 Email and Password Pairs

In November 2025, a Telegram user distributed the STARLINKLOGS v.3 stealer log to criminal networks, exposing exactly 79,385 records containing email addresses, plaintext passwords, and URLs harvested from infected devices. That number is not an estimate or a rounded figure -- HEROIC analysts verified the precise count: 79,385 individuals had their devices silently compromised, their browser credentials scraped, and their login data published to Telegram channels without a single notification to any victim. The dataset is recent, having circulated among criminals for just months before HEROIC's analysts identified and catalogued it. Because the breech is so recent, the risk to affected individuals is active and immediate, not historical.

Why This Is Dangerous

The recency of this breach -- leaked in late November 2025 -- means criminal actors are actively using these credentials right now. Victims who have not changed their passwords since that date are at immediate risk of account takeover on every platform where they reuse the same login. Because the passwords were captured in plaintext directly from browsers, they required zero additional work to weaponize. Every record in this dataset was ready to use the moment it was distributed on Telegram.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses: All 79,385 email addresses in this dataset function as both a login credential and a master key for account recovery across connected services. With an email address and matching password, criminals can seize entire digital identities.
• Plaintext Passwords: Unlike hashed passwords that require cracking, these passwords were captured in fully readable form directly from victim browsers. They were imediately weaponizable with no additional processing the moment they were published.
• URLs: Each logged URL reveals exactly which websites the victim was using at the time of infection. Attackers use this to build a targeted list of platforms to attack, prioritizing banking, email, and high-value services first.

Why This Matters

Most stealer log datasets that HEROIC catalogues are years old by the time victims find out. The STARLINKLOGS v.3 breach is unusually recent, which means the window for criminals to exploit these credentials while victims are still using the same passwords is still open. Every day that passes without a victim checking their exposure and changing their passwords is another day those 79,385 credential pairs remain actively usable by criminals. The precision of this count also reflects something importent: this data was collected methodically, not opportunistically.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

A stealer log breach begins when malware silently installs itself on a victim's device through a phishing email, a trojanized software download, or a malicious browser extension. Once installed, the malware sweeps through every saved password in the browser and records every URL the victim visits, uploading all of it to the attacker's server before the victim suspects a problem. The STARLINKLOGS v.3 dataset is a collection of these individual infection payloads, bundled together and published to Telegram channels frequented by cybercriminals. Each of the 79,385 records represents a real person whose device was silently taken over and whose credentials were distributed without their knowlege or consent.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC's free scanner monitors more than 400 billion exposed records, including recent stealer log datasets like STARLINKLOGS v.3 that spread through criminal Telegram channels without public disclosure. Visit heroic.com, enter your email address, and find out immediately whether your credentials are among those being traded by criminals. Given this breach occurred in late 2025, the threat to affected victims is active -- do not wait.
