One Telegram Upload. One File Called k1ngzxx. 16,067 Stolen Logins.

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log file labeled Free 23dc k1ngzxx uploaded to a public Telegram channel on December 24, 2022. One upload, one file, and 16,067 records inside it, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the login it belongs to.

Why This k1ngzxx File Is So Dangerous

Sixteen thousand plus records is a modest file size by stealer log standards, but the danger is not in the volume, it is in the format. The passwords were captured and stored in plaintext, meaning anyone who opens this one file can start using the credentials immediately with no cracking required.

What Was Exposed in the k1ngzxx Stealer Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each login

Why This Matters for the 16,067 People in This File

Each record pairs a working password with the exact site it unlocks, which is exactly what makes credential stuffing effective. If any of these 16,067 people reused a password elsewhere, attackers can use these same details to attempt account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud on completely unrelated services.

How a Single Stealer Log File Like This Gets Made

Stealer malware infects a device and quietly collects saved browser passwords, autofill data, and visited URLs, then sends everything back to whoever controls the malware. The result is packaged into a single file and often shared for free on Telegram, exactly how this k1ngzxx upload became public. Because it comes straight from an active device, the credentials tend to still work at the time of exposure.
