Telegram User Leaks 372 Valid Hotmail Logins in New Dump
On 13 May 2026, a Telegram user uploaded a stealer log file named "vaild Hotmails" (the misspelling appears in the original upload) containing 372 stolen login records. The file pairs email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs those passwords unlock, indicating the credentials were pulled from infected devices rather than taken in a breach of Microsoft's Hotmail or Outlook services.
Why Sellers Label Logs "Valid" Hotmails
The word "valid" in the file's name is a marketing term used by whoever compiled it, a claim that the 372 credentials inside have been tested and still work. Buyers on Telegram pay more for logs marketed this way because it saves them the trouble of checking which logins are dead versus which ones can still be used to access an inbox right now.
What Was Exposed in the "vaild Hotmails" File
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs confirming each password is tied to a working login page
Why "Tested" Credentials Are More Dangerous
A stealer log marketed as validated is riskier than an untested one because someone has already confirmed the passwords work. That makes the 372 accounts here immediate targets for credential stuffing, where attackers try the same email and password combination across banking, shopping, and social media sites. Since the login pages were captured directly, criminals can move straight to account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud without any extra effort.
How These Logins Got Validated
Stealer malware harvests saved browser credentials from an infected device, then the attacker or a broker often runs a checking tool that logs into each account to confirm the password still works before labeling the file "valid" and putting it up for sale or trade on Telegram. That extra validation step is why files like this one draw more buyer interest than raw, unchecked logs.
