The PiratesLogs Dump: 5,606 Stolen Login Credentials Surface

On November 11, 2023, a Telegram user uploaded a stealer log file named PiratesLogs, containing 5,606 records. HEROIC analysts identified the file while monitoring Telegram channels used to trade stolen credentials. The exposed data includes email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this dump are stored in plaintext, anyone who downloads the file can use them right away, with no cracking required. The URLs bundled with each entry point directly to where the login was used, making it easy for an attacker to target the correct account.

What Was Exposed in the PiratesLogs Stealer Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each login

Why This Matters for Anyone in the Dataset

Plaintext credentials like these are commonly fed into credential stuffing tools that test the same email and password combination against banking, email, and social media sites. Because password reuse is widespread, one exposed login from PiratesLogs can lead to account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud well beyond the original source.

How a Stealer Log Like This Gets Made

Stealer malware infects a device, often through a phishing link or a pirated download, then quietly copies saved passwords and browsing data straight from the browser before sending everything back to the attacker. The results are packaged into a log file, as this one was, and shared or sold on Telegram channels dedicated to trading stolen data.
