US Hotmail Stealer Log Leaks 2,359 Accounts in June 2026

What Happened in the "2.3K Hotmail 29.06" Stealer Log Leak

On June 29, 2026, a Telegram user uploaded a file labeled "2.3K Hotmail 29.06," exposing 2,359 records gathered from malware-infected devices in the United States. The dataset includes email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the sites those logins belong to.

Why This Is Dangerous

Plaintext passwords mean attackers do not need to crack or decode anything, they can log in the moment they open the file. With over 2,300 accounts in one drop, this is a sizeable batch that can be tested against other services almost immediately.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the associated login pages

Why This Matters

For the people behind these 2,359 accounts, the risk goes beyond a single compromised inbox. Attackers can use the exposed credentials for credential stuffing across banking and shopping sites, account takeover of the Hotmail inbox itself, identity theft using personal details found in stored emails, and financial fraud if payment services are among the exposed URLs.

How Stealer Logs Like This One Reach Telegram

Stealer malware quietly harvests saved usernames, passwords, and browsing history from an infected device, then transmits that data back to whoever controls the malware. Batches like "2.3K Hotmail 29.06" are typically organized and dated by the uploader, then distributed through Telegram channels and dark web marketplaces where other criminals purchase or trade them.
