13,620 Passwords From the Trident_Cloud Leak Just Surfaced Online

13,620 Passwords Surface in the Trident_Cloud Stealer Log

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file called Trident_Cloud, uploaded by a Telegram user on August 30, 2024. The file contained 13,620 records, each combining an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the account that login belonged to. Most of the exposed accounts trace back to users in the United States.

Why This Volume of Plaintext Passwords Raises the Stakes

With more than 13,000 credentials in a single file, the odds that at least some of these passwords were reused elsewhere rise sharply. None of the passwords are hashed, so every record is a working login the moment the file is opened, already paired with the exact site it unlocks.

What the Trident_Cloud Leak Contains

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs tied to each set of credentials

Why This Matters

Because each credential is stored in plain text and matched to a specific site, attackers can move straight from the leak to testing logins. Anyone among these 13,620 people who reused a password elsewhere is exposed to credential stuffing, where attackers try the same login across banking, email, and social media accounts. That risk can quickly turn into account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud.

How Stealer Logs Like Trident_Cloud Work

Stealer logs come from infostealer malware that infects a device and silently copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and session details. Once harvested, that information is compiled into a log file and distributed through channels like Telegram, often within days of infection. Most victims have no idea their credentials were taken until a log like Trident_Cloud starts circulating.
