10,179 Passwords From the Trident_Cloud_2 Leak Hit the Dark Web

10,179 Passwords From the Trident_Cloud_2 Leak Hit the Dark Web

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log dataset labeled "Trident_Cloud_2" uploaded to a public Telegram channel, tied to a leak date of December 27, 2024. The file contains 10,179 records, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the service it was used on. These credentials were not stolen from a company's database, they were captured directly off infected computers as their owners logged in.

Why This Is Dangerous

Plaintext means exactly what it sounds like: no hashing, no salting, no encryption standing between an attacker and a working login. Anyone who downloads this file can immediately try any of the 10,179 email and password pairs against the site they came from, or against other services where the same password might be reused.

What Was Exposed in the Trident_Cloud_2 Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the accounts and services accessed

Why This Matters

A file of 10,179 working credentials is exactly the kind of data attackers feed into automated credential stuffing tools, testing each pair against email providers, banks, and online stores in seconds. Anyone who reused a password appearing in this leak faces the risk of account takeover, and once an attacker controls an email account, they can reset passwords elsewhere, opening the door to identity theft and financial fraud.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is generated by information-stealing malware that infects a computer, usually through a malicious download, a cracked application, or a phishing email, then quietly copies every saved password and login URL from the victim's browser. The malware operator collects the results into a file like this one and uploads it to a Telegram channel, where it becomes freely available to anyone looking to exploit the compromised accounts.

Check If You Are Affected

With 10,179 credentials from this leak now circulating, it is worth checking your own exposure. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can find out quickly whether your email or passwords have surfaced and change them before anyone else uses them.
