Researchers Link Trident_Cloud_2 Log to 40,636 Stolen Logins

HEROIC researchers have linked a stealer log tied to a service called Trident_Cloud_2 to 40,636 exposed records, uploaded to a Telegram channel through the LOGSYNC group on May 27, 2025. The file contains email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those credentials were used to log into.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this log are stored in plaintext and matched directly to a URL, an attacker can open the file and immediately log in as the victim on the exact sites the malware recorded, with no cracking or guesswork required.

What Was Exposed in the Trident_Cloud_2 Stealer Log

• Email addresses tied to infected devices
• Plaintext passwords, stored with no encryption
• URLs identifying which sites and services each login belongs to

Why This Matters

With 40,636 records exposed, this is one of the larger stealer logs researchers have flagged recently, giving attackers a substantial ready-made list for credential stuffing across email providers, banks, and cloud services. Anyone whose credentials appear here faces a real risk of account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud, often with no idea their device was ever infected.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is generated by malware that infects a device, often through a fake download, cracked software, or a malicious attachment. Once installed, it quietly pulls saved logins and browsing data straight out of the browser and sends everything back to the attacker. That data is packaged into a file, like this Trident_Cloud_2 dump, and shared or sold through Telegram channels such as LOGSYNC. Because the malware captures whatever is saved on the device at once, a single infection can expose logins to many unrelated accounts.

Check If You Are Affected

If you use cloud services and are concerned your device may be infected with stealer malware, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records. It takes seconds to find out if you are exposed and which passwords to change right away.
