TotalCloudFree Stealer Log: 5,108 Records Found in a December 2022 Telegram Upload

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file labeled "TotalCloudFree" circulating on a public Telegram channel, dated December 14, 2022. The file contained 5,108 individual records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and a URL tied to the account. Stealer logs like this one are generated automatically by malware running on an infected device, quietly recording whatever login information the victim types or has saved in their browser.

Why a Plaintext Password Leak Like This Is Dangerous

Unlike a database breach where passwords are often hashed, a stealer log captures the password exactly as it was typed, in plaintext. That means anyone who gets hold of this file can log in immediately, without cracking anything. If any of the 5,108 people in this log reused that password anywhere else, an attacker already has a working key to try on their email, banking, or social media accounts.

What Was Exposed in the TotalCloudFree Log

• Email addresses tied to each compromised account
• Plaintext passwords, stored and leaked with no encryption
• URLs showing which sites or services the credentials belong to

Why This Matters Even at a Smaller Scale

5,108 records is small compared to some breaches, but scale isn't the only risk factor. Because this data includes working passwords and the exact URL they unlock, it's directly usable for credential stuffing, where automated tools try the same email and password combination across hundreds of other sites. It's also a common entry point for account takeover and identity theft, since a compromised email account can be used to reset passwords on nearly everything else tied to it.

How Stealer Log Malware Ends Up on Telegram

Stealer malware infects a device through a malicious download, cracked software, or a phishing link, then silently reads saved browser passwords, autofill data, and login sessions before sending everything back to the attacker. Low-level cybercriminals often package these logs and upload them to Telegram channels for free or for a small fee, both to build a reputation and to attract buyers for more valuable data. That's how a file like this one ends up publicly accessible with no real barrier to entry.

Check If Your Email Was in This Leak

If you think you might be one of the 5,108 people affected, or you simply want to know whether any of your accounts show up in a leak like this, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records. It takes seconds to search, and it's the fastest way to find out if your credentials are already circulating.
