The TOR_LOG MIX 297PCS File Contains Exactly 5,050 Email and Password Pairs

In September 2024, HEROIC analysts identified the TOR_LOG MIX 297PCS stealer log file uploaded to Telegram by an anonymous user. The file contained exactly 5,050 records, each consisting of an email address, a plaintext password, and a URL, all harvested by infostealer malware from infected devices and distributed as a 297-piece mixed bundle through private Telegram channels.

The TOR_LOG MIX 297PCS File Contains Exactly 5,050 Email and Password Pairs From Compromised Devices

Five thousand and fifty. That is the precise number of people whose email addresses, plaintext passwords, and service URLs are contained in this file. Each record represents a real person whose device was infected with infostealer malware, whose credentials were harvested without their knowledge, and whose data is now accessible to anyone who downloaded this file from Telegram in September 2024.

The TOR_LOG MIX 297PCS bundle is the counterpart to the TOR_LOG MIX 299PCS bundle released on the same date. Together, they expose over 11,000 records from what appears to be a coordinated log aggregation operation distributing mixed stealer data in numbered bundles.

What Was Exposed in the TOR_LOG MIX 297PCS Stealer Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords (zero processing required before use)
• URLs (showing the exact services each victim was using when infected)

Why Exactly 5,050 Plaintext Records on Telegram Is a Concrete, Measurable Risk

Vague breach numbers make risks easy to dismiss. Five thousand and fifty is a specific count of individuals whose credentials are in an active threat actor distribution channel. Each of those 5,050 email and password combinations can be tested against popular platforms automatically. Credential stuffing tools process datasets like this one in minutes, checking each pair against email providers, banking portals, retail sites, and any service included in the URL list.

Anyone in this dataset who has not changed their password since the infection occured remains vulnerable. The URLs tell attackers exactly which services to prioritize for each stolen credential. The result is targeted account takeover that can lead to financiel fraud, identity theft, and cascading access to connected services. This is not a theoretical risk. It is the intended use case for every file uploaded to Telegram credential channels.

How the TOR_LOG MIX 297PCS Bundle Was Assembled

Mixed stealer logs are assembled by aggregating individual log files from multiple separate malware infections. Each of the 297 pieces in this bundle came from a different infected device. The malware on each device ran silently, collected all saved browser passwords, captured URLs from active sessions, and recorded any manually entered credentials. Each infection produced one log file, and an operator then merged all 297 into a single distributable bundle.

The TOR_LOG brand name, used across both the 297PCS and 299PCS bundles, points to a specific operator or channel that uses this branding for their log distribution. Files shared under consistent brand names on Telegram tend to be trusted by regular downloaders, which means they circulate more widely and reach more potential attackers than anonymous one-off uploads.
