USA AND EU falconown uploaded by a Telegram User: 1,689 Records Leaked
In October 2024, HEROIC analysts identified a combolist titled "USA AND EU falconown uploaded by a Telegram User" shared on a Telegram channel. The file contained 1,689 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords, along with URLs identifying where each credential pair originated. The listing's name points to accounts spanning the United States and Europe, and because the passwords are stored in plaintext, they can be used immediately by anyone who downloads the file.
Why This USA and EU Combolist Leak Is Dangerous
With 1,689 plaintext credential pairs spanning accounts in the United States and Europe, this file gives an attacker a ready-made list to test across email providers, banking sites, and shopping platforms in multiple regions at once. Because nothing needs to be cracked or decoded, the credentials are usable the moment someone opens the file.
What Was Exposed in the falconown Combolist
- Email addresses
- Plaintext passwords
- URLs linking each credential pair to its source site
Why This Matters for Everyone in the File
Because none of these 1,689 passwords were hashed, they are immediately ready for credential stuffing, where attackers try the same email and password combination across many different websites. If you reused this password anywhere else, that account is exposed too, opening the door to account takeover, financial fraud, or identity theft.
How Combolists Like This One Are Built
A combolist is a compiled file of email or username and password pairs, usually gathered from earlier breaches, leaks, or stealer logs and packaged into a single list, sometimes labeled by region as this one is. Lists like this circulate on Telegram channels and dark web forums, where they are shared or sold cheaply, making them accessible to attackers with little technical skill.
