Identity Theft Got Easier Because of the TXT Cloud LOGS_150PCS Breach: 5,840 People at Risk

5,840 Records Stolen and Uploaded to Telegram in the TXT Cloud LOGS_150PCS Stealer Log

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded to Telegram on June 30, 2025 labeled TXT Cloud - LOGS_150PCS. The file contained 5,840 records collected from infected machines, each pairing an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the service where those credentials were captured. The data was harvested by infostealer malware installed on victims' devices without their knowledge before being bundled and dropped onto Telegram for open distribution.

Why Account Takeover Just Got Easier Because of This Leak

Stealer log files make account takeover trivially easy for attackers. Because the passwords in this file are in plaintext and matched to specific site URLs, an attacker does not need to crack anything or guess anything. They already know your email, your password, and which website to use it on. Anyone who downloaded this Telegram file could have logged into affected accounts within minutes. The attack surface extends well beyond the original sites in the log because most people reuse passwords across multiple services, and attackers know this and exploit it systematically.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs (specific sites and services the victims were actively using)

Why This Creates Real Identity Theft Risk for the 5,840 People Affected

The consequences of a stealer log exposure go far beyond a single compromised account. When attackers have your email and plaintext password, they test that combination against financial institutions, email providers, and any service where personal information is stored. Account takeover can lead directly to identity theft if an attacker gains access to your email inbox, where they can recieve password reset links for every other account you own. Financial fraud often follows when banking or payment credentials are among those exposed. The seperate but equally serious risk is that even changing one password may not be enough if other services use the same combination.

How Infostealer Malware Creates These Files

Infostealer malware is designed to run quietly in the background on a victim's device. It is typically installed through a malicious download, a fake software crack, a phishing attachment, or a compromised browser extension. Once active, it monitors the victim's login activity and captures credentials as they are typed, along with the URL of the site being accessed. These credential pairs are sent back to the attacker automatically. The attacker then packages hundreds or thousands of these records into a single file called a stealer log and distributes it through underground forums or messaging platforms like Telegram. The TXT Cloud LOGS_150PCS file is one such distribution, and HEROIC analysts confirmed it contains real, active credential data.
