US Users Exposed as url_log_pass1 Leak Hits 18,981 Logins

url_log_pass1 surfaced on Telegram on September 1, 2025, carrying 18,981 stolen login records tied primarily to accounts in the United States. Geography does not stop a stealer log from spreading, but it does shape who is most exposed here.

Why This Is Dangerous

US-based accounts are a favorite target for credential resale because they often connect to major banks, retailers, and email providers wich accept US billing details without much friction. A leak like this gives attackers a ready-made list to test against exactly those services.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs
• 18,981 total records exposed

Why This Matters

If you are in the United States and use any of the same passwords across multiple sites, this leak should get your attention. Attackers rarely stop untill they have tried every combination, and a match on even one account can lead to a noticable financial hit.

How Stealer Logs Work

The malware behind this kind of leak does not care about borders, but the accounts it captures often reflect where the infected devices are located. Once installed, it pulls every saved login from the browser and ships it to the attacker, who then sorts and distributes it exactly as seen here.

Check If You Are Affected

Whether you are in the US or anywhere else, checking takes only a moment. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches over 400 billion compromised records, so you can find out right away if your email shows up in this leak.
