Valid Hotmail-2 is a combolist that a Telegram user uploaded in January 2026, and it exposed 1,742 lines of Hotmail login data. Each line pairs an email address with a plaintext password and the web address the credential was used on. Scan your email to see if you are one of the 1,742 affected.

What a Compromised Hotmail Login Opens Up

A Hotmail account is often the key to far more than email itself, tied to Microsoft services, recovery options for other accounts, and sometimes payment details. An attacker with a working password from this file can use that single entry point to reach well beyond the inbox it was taken from.


What the Valid Hotmail-2 File Contains

  • Email addresses: confirm exactly which Hotmail account each password is meant to unlock.
  • Plaintext passwords: readable on sight, so no cracking stands between the file and a login attempt.
  • URLs: show the login page tied to each credential pair captured.

What Comes Next for the 1,742 Accounts Listed

Anyone whose login still works faces the risk of a hijacked inbox, lost access to linked services, or messages sent to contacts under their name. The label valid means these passwords were tested and confirmed working, which raises the odds that the accounts listed here are still vulnerable right now.


How a Small, Verified Combolist Like This Gets Made

A file like Valid Hotmail-2 is built by pulling email and password pairs from larger batches of leaked or reused credentials, then testing each one to confirm it still works before publishing the smaller, curated result. That verification step is what the word valid signals in the file's name.


Check If Your Hotmail Login Is One of the 1,742

Scan your email to find out for certain. If your Hotmail address appears, change the password right away and watch for sign in alerts on any linked services. Run the same check for a work email too, since Hotmail accounts are used for both personal and professional messages alike.
