Check Your Email: UHQ MIX NEW 2 27 Stealer Log Exposed 83,002 Records

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file, internally labeled "UHQ MIX NEW 2 27," that was uploaded to a Telegram channel on April 2, 2023. The file contains 83,002 records harvested directly from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the websites those credentials unlock. Unlike a typical corporate data breach, this data came from malware quietly running on victims' own computers.

Why the UHQ MIX NEW 2 27 Stealer Log Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this file are stored in plaintext and paired with the exact web address where each login was used, anyone who obtains this file has a ready-made list of working username and password combinations. There is no guessing involved. An attacker can open the file, pick a target site from the URL column, and log straight into a victim's account without needing to crack or decrypt anything.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses used as account usernames
• Plaintext passwords tied to those accounts
• The specific website URLs each credential pair belongs to

Why This Matters for Your Other Accounts

Most people reuse the same password, or a close variation of it, across multiple sites. That means a single leaked credential pair from this log can become the key to email, banking, shopping, and social media accounts if the password was ever reused elsewhere. This is exactly how credential stuffing attacks work: bots automatically test leaked logins across hundreds of other services, hoping for a match. Once an attacker is in, account takeover, unauthorized purchases, and identity theft often follow.

How Stealer Log Malware Harvests Your Data

Stealer logs like this one come from infostealer malware, a type of malicious software often disguised as cracked software, game cheats, or fake browser updates. Once installed, it quietly scans the victim's device for saved browser passwords, autofill data, and session cookies, then bundles everything into a text file and sends it back to the attacker. Those files are frequently packaged up and dumped into Telegram channels like the one HEROIC analysts monitored here, where anyone can download them for free or for a small fee.

Check If Your Email Was Exposed

If you have ever used an email address that could appear in a stolen credential file like this one, it is worth checking now rather than waiting for a problem to show up. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including stealer logs like UHQ MIX NEW 2 27, to tell you instantly whether your information has surfaced on the dark web. Run a free scan and take back control of any exposed accounts before someone else does.
