The ‘valid’ Combolist Contains Exactly 1,053 Email and Password Pairs

HEROIC analysts discovered a small combolist named valid uploaded to a Telegram channel in January 2026. The file contains exactly 1,053 records of email addresses paired with plaintext passwords and the URLs each login was used on. Its name signals that whoever compiled it had already tested the credentials and confirmed they still work. Why This Is Dangerous: A file labeled valid is more dangerous than a random unverified dump because someone has already confirmed the logins are live. That means every one of the 1,053 accounts in this file can likely be accessed right now by anyone who buys or downloads it, without any guesswork about which passwords still work. What Was Exposed in the valid Leak: Email addresses. Plaintext passwords. URLs tied to each login. Why This Matters: Even a small, confirmed-working list like this one is enough to fuel account takeover attempts, since attackers can skip the trial-and-error stage entirely. Verified credentials sell for more on criminal forums precisely because they save buyers time and increase their success rate against email, financial, and shopping accounts. How Valid Combolists Are Made: Sellers often test raw combolists in bulk, using automated tools to check which email and password pairs still successfully log in, then repackage only the working entries into a smaller, higher-value file. That process is likely how this 1,053-record list was created from a larger, unverified source before being uploaded to Telegram. Check if You Are Affected: Because every credential in this file has reportedly been verified as active, checking your exposure now is worth the two minutes it takes. HEROIC's free breach scanner searches over 400 billion leaked records, including this valid combolist, so you can find out immediately and change any password that's still in use.
