The Universe_Logs Dump Surfaced on Telegram, Exposing 5,758 Passwords

HEROIC analysts spotted a stealer log file, labeled Universe_Logs 450 Cloud Logs, uploaded to a public Telegram channel on November 9, 2025. The file contained 5,758 records pulled from infected devices, including email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the accounts those credentials connect to.

Why This Freshly Uploaded Log Is Dangerous

The passwords in this file were never hashed or encrypted, they were captured and posted in plaintext. That means anyone who grabs the file can log in immediately, and because each password is paired with the exact URL it unlocks, there is no guesswork involved in finding the right account to target. A log this fresh gives attackers a head start before most affected users even know their device was compromised.

What Was Exposed in the Universe_Logs File

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the accounts and cloud services accessed

Why This Matters for the 5,758 Records Involved

Even a smaller batch of credentials like this one is enough to fuel credential stuffing attacks, where attackers test the same email and password across banking, email, and social media sites. Anyone whose information appears in this log risks account takeover, and if the password was reused elsewhere, the exposure extends to identity theft and financial fraud far beyond the original account.

How a Stealer Log Like Universe_Logs Gets Created

Stealer logs come from infostealer malware that infects a device, often through a phishing email or a malicious download, then quietly copies saved browser passwords, autofill data, and the sites they belong to. The malware packages everything into a log file and sends it to whoever is operating it. In this case, that operator uploaded the finished log straight to a Telegram channel, putting all 5,758 records into the hands of anyone in that channel almost immediately.
