Search Your Email: The Universe_ULP Dump Exposed 45,391 Accounts

HEROIC analysts identified the Universe_ULP stealer log file during routine monitoring of private Telegram channels in October 2025. The file, distributed under the Universe_ULP channel and labeled as containing 218,000 lines, was processed and confirmed to contain 45,391 unique records. Each record included an email address, a plaintext password, and a URL identifying the service where that credential was captured. The file is consistent with other ULP-format stealer log drops that HEROIC tracks across dark web and Telegram distribution networks.

Why Unencrypted Email and Password Pairs From Universe_ULP Enable Immediate Account Access

Plaintext passwords give attackers everything they need without any additional effort. There is no hashing to reverse, no cracking required. A criminal who downloads this file can immediately begin testing each email and password combination against real websites using automated tools. The URLs included in each record make this process more precise, because the attacker already knows which services to target. Even accounts with long passwords offer no protection if those passwords were captured directly from the device by malware before they could be hashed.

What the Universe_ULP 218000 File Exposed

• Email addresses used as login identifiers
• Plaintext passwords captured from infected devices
• URLs showing which services the credentials belong to

Why Even 45,000 Stolen Logins Can Fuel Widespread Identity Theft and Financial Fraud

Credential sets this size are often traded or combined with other files to build larger attack pipelines. Even 45,000 records can yield hundreds of successful account takeovers when run through automated credential stuffing tools. Once inside an account, an attacker can reset passwords for linked services, access stored payment information, or use the account to send phishing messages to the victim's contacts. The people whose data appears in this file may not realize anything has occured until significant damage has already been done. Because the file was circulating in a dedicated ULP channel, it was likely purchased or downloaded by multiple actors before HEROIC detected it.

How Universe_ULP Channels Distribute Stolen Login Data

Universe_ULP is a Telegram channel operating as a distribution point for stealer log files. Files shared in channels like this are generated by information-stealing malware that installs on victim devices through phishing links, pirated software, or fake browser extensions. The malware silently collects saved passwords from browsers, pairs them with the URLs of the associated sites, and sends the data to the attacker's server. The resulting files are then formated into ULP archives and posted to channels where subscribers can download them. The discrepancy between the advertised 218,000 lines and the confirmed 45,391 records suggests the file contained duplicate or malformed entries that were filtered during processing.
