U.S. Users Targeted: SlurmLogs Exposes 29,333 Passwords

HEROIC's monitoring systems detected a stealer log collection titled SlurmLogs circulating on Telegram in July 2026. The dump contains 29,333 records primarily targeting U.S.-based internet users. Each record includes an email address, a plaintext password, and the URL of the service where the credentials were stolen from the victim's browser or device.

Plaintext Passwords Leave Victims Completely Exposed

All 29,333 passwords in the SlurmLogs collection are stored in plaintext form. There is no hashing algorithm, no encryption layer, and no obfuscation standing between the data and anyone who accesses it. This means every credential in the file is immediately usable for unauthorized login attempts. Victims whose passwords appear in this dump face the highest level of risk because there is nothing slowing down exploitation.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses — digital identifiers linking to accounts across countless services
• Plaintext Passwords — authentication strings stored in their original, fully readable form
• URLs — the websites and services where each credential was captured

Credential Stuffing Threatens Every Account You Own

With nearly 30,000 email-password pairs in their arsenal, attackers use credential stuffing tools to automatically test these combinations against popular U.S. services like Gmail, Chase, Amazon, Netflix, and Microsoft 365. If you have ever used the same password on more than one website, your exposure multiplies with every service that shares that password. What starts as one compromised login can rapidly expand into a total digital breach.

The Infostealer Malware Behind SlurmLogs

SlurmLogs was generated by infostealer malware running on thousands of compromised devices. This malware category is designed to extract credentials silently. It targets saved browser passwords across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, while also capturing cookies, autofill form data, and clipboard contents. Victims rarely notice any symptoms because the malware operates entirely in the background. Once collected, the stolen data is structured into log files and distributed through Telegram, making it available to criminals worldwide.

Check If Your Credentials Were Exposed

Nearly 30,000 people were affected by the SlurmLogs dump, and U.S. users are disproportionately represented. Use the HEROIC data breach scanner to search across more than 400 billion compromised records and determine whether your email or password appears in this leak or any other breach in the database. If your credentials are found, change them immediately, use a unique password for every account, and turn on two-factor authentication to defend against future attacks.
