The Trident_Cloud Dump: 8,742 Stolen Login Credentials Hit Telegram

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log dataset called Trident_Cloud, uploaded to a Telegram channel with data leaked on 13 August 2024. The file exposes 8,742 records pulled from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts and API hosts those passwords unlock. Because the passwords are stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains this file can use them immediately.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every record in the Trident_Cloud file pairs a working email and password directly with the exact service it belongs to. An attacker does not need to guess where a stolen password might apply, and does not need to crack or decrypt anything. They can take a record from this file and log in right away, and because the data was captured live from an infected device, the credentials are likely to still work.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages and API hosts

Why This Matters

Ready-to-use, plaintext credentials like these are exactly what powers credential stuffing, where attackers automatically test stolen email and password pairs against banking, email, and shopping sites. If any of the 8,742 people in this leak reused a password elsewhere, that single point of overlap can quickly escalate into account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft.

How Stealer Log Breaches Work

A stealer log is not evidence of a company being hacked. It is the output of malware quietly running on an individual's device, which harvests saved browser passwords, autofill entries, and session data before packaging everything into a log file sent back to the attacker. Files like Trident_Cloud are commonly shared or sold through Telegram channels, where they can circulate quickly among buyers. Because the theft happens directly on the victim's device, the stolen credentials tend to be accurate and current at the time the log is shared.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email address against more than 400 billion breached records, including leaks like Trident_Cloud, in seconds. If your email turns up in a scan, change the affected password right away, and anywhere else you reused it.
