The Russian Combolist Leak Exposed 3,316 Russian Email Accounts

In July 2026, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist labeled "Russian Combolist" circulating on Telegram that exposed 3,316 records, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs tied to each account. The list appears to focus on accounts belonging to Russian language users and was uploaded directly by a Telegram user rather than tied to a single company breach.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because every password in this file is stored in plaintext, an attacker does not need to crack or decode anything before logging in. With more than 3,300 email, password, and URL combinations bundled together, this list gives attackers a ready-made batch of working logins that can be tested against Russian-language services and beyond in a matter of minutes using automated tools.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each account

Why This Matters

With 3,316 accounts in a single file, this combolist is large enough to fuel automated credential stuffing attacks across many services at once. Anyone whose email and password appear in this list faces a real risk of account takeover, and if the same password is reused for banking, shopping, or social media, the fallout can extend well beyond the original account into identity theft and financial fraud.

How This Combolist Was Built

A combolist like this one is assembled by combining email and password pairs pulled from smaller sources such as phishing pages, malware infections, or older breaches, then organizing them by language or region, in this case Russian-speaking users. Telegram channels make it easy to compile and circulate lists like this quickly, which is why regional combolists of this size continue to appear regularly.

Check If You Are Affected

If you have accounts on Russian-language sites or reuse passwords across multiple services, it is worth checking now. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records to show whether your email and credentials appear in this leak or any other, so you can change your passwords before someone else uses them.
