Trident_Cloud_1 Leak Puts 20,795 Cloud API Passwords at Risk

Cloud Login Credentials Exposed in the Trident_Cloud_1 Stealer Log

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log uploaded to a public Telegram channel on July 6, 2024. Labeled Trident_Cloud_1, the file exposed 20,795 records tied to United States based accounts, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs, including API host endpoints, that each credential connects to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Credentials tied to cloud and API endpoints carry extra risk because they often unlock more than a single account. These passwords were captured in plaintext directly from infected devices, so there is no encryption for an attacker to break. Anyone holding this file can match an email address to its password and the exact endpoint it accesses, then log in immediately.

What Was Exposed in the Trident_Cloud_1 Log

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs and API host endpoints tied to each credential

Why This Matters

When login details for cloud services and API endpoints leak in plaintext, attackers can use them for credential stuffing against other accounts that share the same password, or to access the connected service directly. Anyone among the 20,795 affected accounts who reused a password elsewhere faces real risk of account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud tracing back to this exposure.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

A stealer log is produced by infostealer malware that infects a device through a malicious download, cracked software, or a phishing link. Once installed, it reads saved usernames, passwords, and the web addresses or API endpoints tied to them directly from the browser, then bundles everything into a single file. That file is then uploaded to Telegram channels and underground marketplaces, exactly where HEROIC analysts found this Trident_Cloud_1 dump.
