300 PCS Telegram Stealer Log Leaks 6,955 Passwords – Act Now

On April 11, 2024, a Telegram user uploaded a free stealer log file containing 6,955 records to a public channel. Each entry pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the web address (URL) the credentials were used on, information pulled straight off malware-infected devices rather than stolen in a breach of any single company's servers.

Why This Telegram Log Dump Is Dangerous

Stealer logs like this one are especially risky because the passwords inside are stored in plaintext. There is no encryption to crack and no hash to break. Anyone who downloads the file can copy and paste a set of credentials straight into a login page. Because it was shared for free on Telegram, the file has likely already spread to more people than any single hacker forum post ever could.

What Was Exposed in This 6,955-Record Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs for the associated login pages

Together, these three pieces of information form a ready-made login kit. An attacker does not need to guess anything. They already have the username, the password, and the exact site to try it on.

Why This Matters to You

If one of your accounts is in this log, the danger goes well beyond that single login. Reused passwords make credential stuffing possible, where automated tools test the same email and password combination across banking, email, and shopping sites. A successful match can lead to account takeover, identity theft, or direct financial fraud, especially if the compromised account is tied to payment methods or personal identifying information.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

A stealer log is not the result of a company being hacked. It comes from infostealer malware, malicious software that infects a person's computer or phone, often through a fake download, cracked software, or a malicious email attachment. Once installed, the malware quietly harvests saved passwords, browser autofill data, and login URLs stored on the device, then bundles everything into a single file, or "log." Logs are frequently uploaded to Telegram channels and dark web forums, sometimes sold, sometimes given away for free, as this one was.

Check If You Are Affected

Because this log was distributed for free, your information could already be circulating widely. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like this one, so you can find out in seconds whether your credentials were exposed and take action before someone else uses them.
