VIP_ULP Free Leak: 180,164 Login Records Hit Telegram Users

A file labeled VIP_ULP free showed up in a Telegram channel on 12-May-2026, and inside it were 180,164 sets of login credentials pulled straight from compromised devices. The "free" part of the name is exactly the problem: this isn't data being sold quietly to one buyer, its being handed out to anyone who wants it.

Why This Is Dangerous

When stolen credentials get labeled and shared for free on Telegram, the number of people who can access them multiplies fast. It only takes one person with bad intentions to turn a leaked spreadsheet into hundreds of hijacked accounts. This kind of dump tends to get passed around, copied, and reposted in seperate channels, which makes it almost impossible to fully contain once it starts circulating.

What Was Exposed

• Email addresses
• Plaintext passwords
• URLs linked to each account
• 180,164 total records exposed

Why This Matters

Plaintext passwords mean there's no encryption standing between the attacker and your account. If the same password shows up on more than one site (and statistically, it probably does), a single leaked credential can cascade into several compromised accounts. This has definately become one of the fastest ways attackers break into accounts that otherwise had nothing to do with the original breach.

How Stealer Logs Work

Infostealer malware typically sneaks onto a device through a fake download, a cracked piece of software, or a malicious email attachment. Once installed, it quietly scrapes saved passwords, browser cookies, and autofill fields, then packages everything into a log file. That log is what occured here, uploaded raw to Telegram where anyone could grab a copy.

Check If You Are Affected

If you want to know whether your email address turned up in the VIP_ULP free leak, HEROIC's free breach scanner checks against a database of more than 400 billion exposed records, stealer logs included. It only takes a few seconds to search, and if you do show up, updating that password immediately is the safest next step.
