Your Password Might Be in the WATERCLOUD_INFO Leak of 9,035 Accounts

The file name says "70918 LINES," but when WATERCLOUD_INFO surfaced on Telegram on June 21, 2025, the verified count of usable, complete records turned out to be 9,035. That gap between the raw line count and the confirmed record count is common in stealer logs, since plenty of lines in the original scrape are duplicates, broken entries, or logins that no longer worked by the time the leak occured.

Why This Is Dangerous

Even with the smaller confirmed number, every one of those 9,035 records includes a plaintext password sitting next to its matching email address and the URL where it was captured. Nothing about this data needs to be decoded or cracked. It's ready for immediate use, which is what makes stealer logs so much more dangerous than an old-fashioned leaked password hash.

What Was Exposed

• 9,035 confirmed email and password pairs
• Passwords stored in readable plaintext form
• URLs showing where each set of stolen credentials was used

Why This Matters

If you're wondering whether a leak of nine thousand records is worth worrying about, the honest answer is yes, especially if you're one of the people in it. A smaller leak often gets less news coverage, which means fewer people ever hear about it or think to check their own exposure. That silence is exactly what benefits the attacker holding the file.

How WATERCLOUD_INFO-Type Leaks Happen

Leaks like this one trace back to information-stealing malware quietly running on someone's personal computer, often installed through a cracked application, a fake update prompt, or a phishing email attachment. Once active, the malware reaches into the browser's saved password vault and autofill history, grabs everything stored there, and sends it home to the person running the campaign. That data eventually becomes a file named after wherever it was collected, in this case something calling itself WATERCLOUD_INFO, before being shared or sold on Telegram.

Check If You Are Affected

There's no reason to sit and wonder if your details are part of this leak. HEROIC runs a free scanner that checks your email against a database built from more than 400 billion (400B+) exposed records collected across breaches like WATERCLOUD_INFO. Check your address today, and if there's a match, it's neccessary to swap out that password on every account where you've used it before, right away.
