If You Used These Services in 2023, hulk_logs Group2 Has Your Data

In May 2023, the second batch from the TG hulk_logs operation landed on Telegram as NEW GROUP2, carrying 9,090 fresh records stripped from compromised machines across the United States. Like its predecessor, this collection contained plaintext passwords, email addresses, and URLs that mapped each victim to the specific services they had been using at the time of infection. The hulk_logs operation was systematic. This wasn't a one-off leak. It was part of a deliberate effort to build a following on Telegram by publishing usable credential batches on a regular schedule.

For the 9,090 people whose data appeared in this second release, the exposure compounded the risk of the first. Anyone whose credentials appeared in both collections had now been indexed by two separate publically distributed datasets. Attackers working through hulk_logs batches would be cross-referencing records from multiple releases, building richer profiles of repeat victims and prioritizing those with credentials to high-value services visible in their URL histories.

The TG hulk_logs 500LOGS NEW GROUP2 Data: What Got Out

• Email Addresses: Primary login identifiers exposing account access across numerous platforms and services
• Plaintext Passwords: Unencrypted credentials that require no cracking, decryption, or technical processing to use
• URLs: A service map showing which cloud platforms, portals, and tools each victim was logged into at infection time
• Record Count: 9,090 endpoint records from the May 2023 Group2 Telegram upload
• Context: Second release in the hulk_logs series, following the earlier Group1 collection from the same channel

How TG hulk_logs 500LOGS NEW GROUP2 Puts Your Accounts at Risk

Imagine an attacker already has your email and password from the first hulk_logs release and has confirmed access to one of your accounts. The Group2 release adds more URLs from your browsing history, revealing additional services they hadn't targeted yet. This is how multi-batch stealer log campaigns compound the damage over time. Each new release doesn't just add more victims. It adds more data on existing ones, enabling increasingly targeted attacks on the same individuals.

For victims appearing in this dataset for the first time, the risk profile is identical to any plaintext credential exposure: immediate credential stuffing risk across every service where the same password was used, targeted phising based on URL history, and the real possibility of account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft. For anyone in corporate environments, an exposed work email and password in this dataset can translate directly into an active threat against their employer's network.

Stealer Log Attacks: A Clear Explanation

The hulk_logs operation exemplifies how modern infostealer campaigns work at scale. Individual machines get infected through phishing emails, poisoned downloads, or malicious browser extensions. The infostealer malware installed on each machine collects everything: saved browser passwords, session cookies, URL history, and in some cases screenshots and keystrokes. All of this data gets automatically transmitted to the attacker's infrastructure and sorted into log files, each representing one infected device.

Threat actors running operations like hulk_logs aggregate these individual logs into batch releases and distribute them through Telegram channels, either for sale or for free as a way to attract followers. The May 2023 Group2 release was one node in this larger operation. What distinguishes these attacks from traditional data breaches is that there is no single corporate server to patch or secure. The vulnerability is on individual endpoints, and by the time a batch hits Telegram, the infection has usually been running for weeks or months already.

Check Whether You're in the TG hulk_logs 500LOGS NEW GROUP2 Breach

HEROIC indexes more than 400 billion exposed records, including multi-batch stealer log operations like the hulk_logs series. A search of your email address will surface any appearance in this collection or related releases. If your credentials appear, act immediately: change the affected password everywhere it's been reused, end all active sessions on impacted platforms, and enable two-factor authentication. If the first hulk_logs release didn't catch your attention, this second batch should. Check now before attackers find your record first.
