4,675 Plaintext Passwords Found in the TOR_LOG MIX 301PCS File

4,675 plaintext passwords sitting next to the exact accounts they unlock: that's what HEROIC analysts found in a stealer log batch named TOR_LOG MIX 301PCS, uploaded to Telegram on August 12, 2024. Each record pairs an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL that login opens. The only way to know if you're affected is to scan your email.

Why Batch Files Like This Keep Appearing

Stealer logs often get released in numbered pieces rather than one giant file, which makes them easier to sell in smaller chunks and harder for defenders to track as a single event. This 301 piece batch is one slice of that larger, ongoing release pattern.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses: identifies the account owner and gives attackers a target for phishing.
• Plaintext Password: readable the moment the file is opened, usable without any cracking.
• URLs: shows attackers precisely which login page each password pair was captured from.

Why This Batch Is Still Worth Taking Seriously

Being one piece of a larger set doesn't reduce the risk to the 4,675 people in it. A working password here can hand an attacker direct account access, which often leads to reused passwords being tried elsewhere, draining saved payment details, or locking the real owner out.

How a Numbered Batch Like This Gets Made

Infostealer malware infects a device through a cracked program or malicious download, then copies saved browser logins and the pages they belong to before sending everything to the attacker. The stolen data gets split into numbered sets like this 301 piece batch before being shared.

Could You Be Among the 4,675 in This TOR_LOG MIX Batch?

Run a malware scan on the device you use to log in before doing anything else, since the infection behind this file may still be active. Once it's clean, scan your email and reset any exposed passwords from that clean device. Do this for personal and work logins alike, since one infected device often touches both.
