HEROIC Researchers Link Trident_Cloud_3 to 3,399 Stolen Logins

HEROIC researchers traced another stealer log dataset back to the Trident_Cloud_3 name, uploaded to a Telegram channel on October 18, 2024. Analysts found 3,399 records inside the file, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the login page it opens. HEROIC has verified the data as authentic, confirming these are live credentials pulled from malware-infected devices rather than an old, cracked database.

What Researchers Found Inside the File

Investigators noted that every record in the Trident_Cloud_3 batch follows the same structure as earlier uploads under the same name, an email address, a password stored in plain text, and the exact website that password unlocks. That consistency suggests an ongoing operation rather than a single, isolated incident, with new batches surfacing under the Trident_Cloud label on a regular basis.

What Was Exposed in the Trident_Cloud_3 Leak

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages

Why This Matters for Anyone in the Data

Researchers point out that plaintext credentials paired with working URLs skip past the usual delay of cracking a password hash, letting attackers move straight into account takeover, identity theft, and financial fraud. Anyone who reused this password on other accounts faces the added risk of credential stuffing attacks spreading beyond the original login.

How a Stealer Log Like Trident_Cloud_3 Gets Made

Stealer malware infects a device through a fake download, cracked software, or a malicious attachment, then quietly copies every saved password, autofill entry, and browsing session out of the browser. That stolen data gets bundled into a log file and shared on Telegram, which is how researchers traced this and other Trident_Cloud batches back to the same source.

Check If Your Credentials Are in the Trident_Cloud_3 Leak

If you reuse passwords across multiple accounts, it is worth checking whether your information appears in this or any other stealer log. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including this one, so you can see what has been exposed and change any affected passwords right away.
