The Ulv.edu Leak Puts 504 Accounts at Risk of Identity Theft

The Ulv.edu Combolist: 504 Logins at Risk of Identity Theft

HEROIC analysts found a combolist named ulv.edu uploaded to a Telegram channel on May 25, 2026, containing 504 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs those logins were tied to. The file was verified and added to HEROIC's breach database on August 28, 2026.

Why This Is Dangerous

Every password in this combolist sits in plain, readable text, so no cracking or guessing is required to use it. An attacker can read the email, its exact password, and the site URL it belongs to, then attempt to log in right away. For a university domain like this one, that can mean access to student portals, email accounts, and any personal records tied to them.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linking each login to the site it was used on

Why This Matters

When personal accounts are compromised, identity theft is one of the most serious risks that follows. Attackers run leaked credentials like these through credential stuffing attacks against banking apps, email providers, and other personal accounts, hoping for reused passwords. Once inside, they can piece together enough personal details to open new accounts, file fraudulent claims, or commit financial fraud in someone else's name.

How Combolists Work

A combolist pairs usernames or emails with passwords, usually collected from smaller breaches, phishing pages, or infected devices, and compiles them into a single file. Files like ulv.edu spread quickly across Telegram channels and dark web forums, where anyone can load them into automated software and test every credential pair in minutes.

Check If You Are Affected

If you use a ulv.edu email address or any address you think might be reused elsewhere, check whether it appears among the 504 records in this combolist. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, so you can confirm what was exposed and reduce your identity theft risk before it becomes a real problem.
