Records Exposed 9,581
Source Type Stealer log
Origin United States
Password Type plaintext

In May 2023, a Telegram user published a stealer log collection called TG hulk_logs 500LOGS NEW GROUP, releasing 9,581 records harvested from compromised endpoints across the United States. Each record in the dataset contained an email address, a plaintext password, and a list of URLs showing which online services that victim had active sessions on at the time their machine was infected. The data required no technical processing before use. It was published ready for immediate credential attacks.

The hulk_logs channel was one of numerous Telegram-based operations that emerged during 2023 to distribute infostealer harvests, typically packaging them in batches of 500 or more records and releasing them to build channel membership and reputation. The 9,581 records in this particular upload represent a meaningful subset of real people who had no idea, at the time of publication, that their passwords and active account data were being circulated to anyone who subscribed to the channel.

The TG hulk_logs 500LOGS NEW GROUP Data: What Got Out


  • Email Addresses: Login usernames for email providers, cloud accounts, banking portals, and enterprise platforms
  • Plaintext Passwords: Unencrypted, immediately deployable credentials with no decryption step required
  • URLs: Active service indicators showing which platforms each victim was authenticated against at infection time
  • Record Count: 9,581 endpoint records distributed through the hulk_logs Telegram channel in May 2023
  • Distribution Model: Free public release via Telegram to grow channel audience and credibility

How TG hulk_logs 500LOGS NEW GROUP Puts Your Accounts at Risk


The plaintext nature of the passwords in this dataset eliminates the most common defensive buffer. There is no hash to crack, no encryption to reverse. An attacker with this file and an off-the-shelf credential stuffing tool can begin testing logins within minutes of downloading the data. The URL list in each record acts as a targeting sheet. If the data shows a victim was logged into a corporate VPN or financial platform, those get tested first. Successful logins lead to account takeover, data exfiltration, and in corporate environments, lateral movement through internal systems.

Phising attacks are the secondary threat. Knowing which services a person uses allows attackers to craft extremely convincing impersonation emails. A fake notification from a service the target actually uses is far more likely to succeed than a generic attempt. Financial fraud, unauthorized purchases, identity theft, and business email compromise are all documented outcomes from credential exposure events exactly like this one. These aren't theoretical risks. They are the documented follow-on activity from Telegram-distributed stealer logs.

Stealer Log Attacks: A Clear Explanation


Stealer logs originate from infostealer malware infections, typically spread through malicious email attachments, fake software downloads, or compromised browser extensions. Once installed, the malware runs quietly in the background of the infected machine, extracting every saved password it can find from installed browsers, copying session cookies that keep the user logged in, recording visited URLs, and packaging all of it into a compressed archive for automatic transmission to the attacker.

The resulting files are what security researchers call stealer logs. Each file corresponds to one infected device. Threat actors aggregate these files into collections and distribute them through channels like the hulk_logs group on Telegram. Because the infection happens at the endpoint level and not at any single company's server, no corporate security team can prevent the initial harvest. By the time the data reaches Telegram, the window for early intervention has typically already closed.

Check Whether You're in the TG hulk_logs 500LOGS NEW GROUP Breach


Search HEROIC's 400 billion-record breach database right now to find out if your email address appears in the hulk_logs dataset or any other known exposure. Don't wait for unusual account activity to alert you. Credential stuffing attacks often succeed silently, with no visible warning until the damage is done. If you're in this dataset, change your passwords immediately, revoke sessions on all affected platforms, and enable two-factor authentication. HEROIC's search takes seconds. Ignoring the question takes much longer to recover from.
