165,277 US Passwords Exposed in “USA Part3” Telegram Dump

In early February 2023, HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log posted to Telegram titled USA Part3 22, containing 165,277 exposed records tied to US-based accounts. Each record pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the URL of the login page it opens, the standard output of malware built to harvest saved credentials from an infected browser.

165,277 US Passwords Just Surfaced From This Telegram Dump

This file is the third labeled part of a larger collection, meaning the uploader split a bigger stealer log into smaller pieces before distributing them, likely to make the data easier to trade in chunks. Even as one part of a series, 165,277 records is a significant number of plaintext passwords now available to anyone who obtains the file.

What Was Exposed in USA Part3

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

Why This Matters

A file this size gives attackers enough volume to run automated credential stuffing against major US banking, email, and shopping platforms. Anyone in this file who reused their password elsewhere faces a real risk of account takeover, and once one account is compromised, financial fraud and identity theft often follow.

How a Split Stealer Log Like This Gets Made

Infostealer malware infects a device through a cracked download or malicious attachment, then silently extracts every saved password and login URL from the browser. Criminals often break a large raw log into numbered parts, like this Part3, to distribute across multiple Telegram posts or sell in smaller batches to different buyers.

Check If You Are Affected

With 165,277 records in this one part alone, checking your exposure is worth doing today. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches a database of more than 400 billion compromised records so you can confirm in seconds whether your email and password appeared in this leak.
