Violet Logs Cloud H Country: 1,332 Passwords Exposed. Yours Might Be One.

Stealer Log Tied to Violet Logs Cloud H Country Surfaces on Telegram

HEROIC analysts identified a stealer log file uploaded to a public Telegram channel on December 16, 2022, containing 1,332 records tied to United States accounts. The log, internally labeled "Violet Logs Cloud H Country," exposed email addresses, plaintext passwords, and API host URLs harvested from infected devices.

Why This Is Dangerous

The passwords in this log were stored and shared in plaintext, meaning anyone who downloads the file can log directly into the accounts tied to these credentials without cracking anything. Because the log also records the specific URLs, including API endpoints, tied to each password, an attacker knows exactly which service each login unlocks, making automated abuse fast and simple.

What Was Exposed

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

Why This Matters

Because these credentials were captured in plaintext straight from infected devices, they are immediately usable for credential stuffing, testing the same email and password combination against other websites and services. Anyone among the 1,332 people in this log who reused a password elsewhere faces a real risk of account takeover, and exposed API URLs raise the added risk of unauthorized access to connected services or accounts.

How Stealer Logs Work

A stealer log is generated by information-stealing malware that infects a device, often through a malicious download, cracked software, or phishing link, and silently harvests saved passwords, browser data, and visited URLs. That stolen information is packaged into a log file and sent back to whoever controls the infection. Logs like this one are then shared, sold, or uploaded for free to Telegram channels, where anyone can download and use them. Because the theft happens on the victim's device rather than a company's server, it slips past most traditional security defenses.

Check If You Are Affected
