Trident_Cloud Telegram Leak Gives Hackers 6,908 Plaintext Passwords

HEROIC analysts found a stealer log uploaded to a public Telegram channel under the name "Trident_Cloud" on October 16, 2024. The file contains 6,908 records of stolen email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those logins were used on, pulled straight from infected devices rather than a company's own systems.

What Attackers Can Do With the Trident_Cloud Data

Because the passwords in this leak are plaintext and each one is paired with both an email address and the exact site it unlocks, an attacker does not need to crack or guess anything. They can simply take the pairing and try logging in immediately, whether that is the original account or another service where the same password was reused. This gives hackers a near ready-made toolkit for breaking into accounts.

What Was Exposed in the Trident_Cloud Dump

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• Associated login URLs

Why This Matters for the 6,908 People in the Trident_Cloud Leak

Reused passwords are the biggest risk here. If someone in this dataset used the same password for their email, banking, or social media, an attacker can use credential stuffing to test the stolen pair across many sites at once. Once one account falls, it often opens the door to others, including email accounts that can be used to reset passwords elsewhere, leading to identity theft or financial fraud.

How Stealer Logs Like Trident_Cloud Are Created

This kind of data comes from infostealer malware, which infects a device through a fake download, cracked software, or a malicious attachment. Once installed, it quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill details, and login URLs, then sends everything back to the attacker. The resulting log, like the one behind Trident_Cloud, is then packaged and shared or sold through Telegram channels and dark web marketplaces.

Check If You Are Affected by the Trident_Cloud Leak

If your email or passwords might be part of this leak, run a free scan with HEROIC's breach checker, which searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records for your information. If you find a match, change that password everywhere you have reused it.
