Violet Logs Cloud E Country Put 8,337 Stolen Passwords Online

Stealer Log Tied to Violet Logs Cloud E Country Exposes 8,337 Records

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded to a public Telegram channel on December 16, 2022, containing 8,337 records tied to United States accounts. The log, labeled "Violet Logs Cloud E 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 captured and stored in plaintext, anyone who obtains the file can log directly into the affected accounts without needing to crack or decrypt anything. The inclusion of the specific URLs, including API hosts, tied to each password means an attacker instantly knows which service each credential unlocks, making mass exploitation fast and easy across thousands of accounts at once.

What Was Exposed

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

Why This Matters

With 8,337 sets of credentials in plaintext, this log gives attackers a ready-made list for credential stuffing, automatically testing each email and password pair against banking sites, email providers, and other services. Anyone in this group who reused a password elsewhere is at meaningful risk of account takeover, identity theft, or financial fraud, especially since no encryption stands between the raw data and whoever downloads it.

How Stealer Logs Work

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

Check If You Are Affected
