Violet Logs Cloud D Country: 3,004 Stolen Passwords Hit the Dark Web

Stealer Log Tied to Violet Logs Cloud D Country Exposes 3,004 Records

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded to a public Telegram channel on December 16, 2022, containing 3,004 records tied to United States accounts. The log, labeled "Violet Logs Cloud D Country," exposed email addresses, plaintext passwords, and API host URLs harvested directly from infected devices.

Why This Is Dangerous

Because the passwords in this log were stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains the file can log directly into the accounts tied to these credentials without cracking or guessing anything. The URLs recorded alongside each password tell an attacker exactly which service each login belongs to, making it simple to attempt access across thousands of accounts in a short amount of time.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• API host URLs (the services each login connects to)

Why This Matters

With 3,004 sets of credentials exposed in plaintext, this log is a ready-made resource for credential stuffing attacks, where attackers test the same email and password pair against many other websites. Anyone affected who reused a password elsewhere risks having other accounts, email, banking, or social media, taken over, along with the identity theft and financial fraud that often follows.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is the product of information-stealing malware that infects a device, often through a malicious download, cracked software, or a phishing link, and quietly collects saved passwords, browser data, and visited URLs. The stolen information is sent back to whoever controls the infection, then packaged into a log file and shared, in this case uploaded for free to a public Telegram channel where anyone can download it. Because the theft happens on the victim's own device, it bypasses the security measures of the websites themselves.
