Identity Theft Risk Rises: Vidar Stealer Log Hits 12,042 Logins

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log named "Vidar 2 TG ArhontCorp" uploaded to Telegram on 11-Jul-2026. The log contained 12,042 records made up of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and the URLs of the login pages those credentials were stolen from.

Why a Vidar Stealer Log Raises the Risk of Identity Theft

Vidar is a well-known information-stealing malware that infects a device and quietly copies saved passwords, browser data, and login sessions before sending everything back to the attacker. Because this data was captured directly from real login attempts rather than an old database, the credentials in this log were working at the time they were stolen, making identity theft and account takeover far easier for whoever holds the file.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs of the exact login pages tied to each credential

Why This Vidar Leak Still Matters at 12,042 Records

A smaller record count does not mean smaller risk to the people in this file. Each entry pairs a working password with the exact site it unlocks, so anyone in this log faces immediate exposure to account takeover, and if they reused that password elsewhere, to financial fraud and identity theft across other accounts too.

How Vidar Stealer Logs Are Created

Vidar spreads through malicious downloads such as cracked software, fake installers, or phishing links. Once it infects a device, it harvests saved credentials, cookies, and autofill data, then packages the results into a log like this one, which is distributed through Telegram groups such as the one behind this ArhontCorp upload.

Check If Your Credentials Are in the Vidar Stealer Log

Even at 12,042 records, the odds that your email is included are worth checking. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against more than 400 billion leaked records, including this stealer log, so you can find out immediately if your passwords need to be changed.
