Telegram Logs_18 November Suffers Breach Exposing 12,053 Records

HEROIC researchers found 12,053 records on November 22, 2024 from a Telegram-hosted stealer log file titled Logs_18 November, uploaded by an anonymous channel user and containing live credentials harvested from infected endpoints.

Why This Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Stealer log drops like Logs_18 November are immediately weaponizable. Every line pairs a working login URL with the exact email and plaintext password a victim typed, so attackers can pivot to banking portals, email, corporate SaaS, and crypto wallets within minutes. Because the file was distributed openly on Telegram, thousands of threat actors already hold a copy.

What Was Exposed in Logs_18 November

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Login URLs and API host endpoints
• Browser-captured session context
• Endpoint identifiers tied to infected devices

Why This Matters

Plaintext passwords remove every defensive layer a hashed leak would otherwise provide. Anyone who reuses a password across personal and work accounts faces cascading takeovers, and the URLs in the log tell attackers exactly where to try those credentials first. Employers whose staff appear in the dump inherit a direct corporate risk.

How a Stealer Log Like Logs_18 November Works

A victim runs a trojanized installer, cracked software, or malicious document. Infostealer malware such as RedLine, Raccoon, or Lumma silently exfiltrates saved browser credentials, cookies, autofill data, and crypto wallet files. The operator packages the haul into dated log bundles and posts them to Telegram channels for sale or free distribution.
