The web.de Telegram Leak Exposed 56,931 Webmail Login Credentials

56,931 Webmail Credentials Exposed in the web.de Telegram Combolist. On July 29, 2026, a Telegram user uploaded a combolist file tied to web.de, the German webmail service. HEROIC's threat intelligence team identified and verified the listing on July 31, 2026, confirming it contains 56,931 records of email addresses, plaintext passwords, and associated URLs. Why This Is Dangerous. Because the passwords are stored in plaintext, they can be used immediately by anyone who obtains the file, without any need to crack or decrypt them. Paired with matching URLs, attackers can log directly into the webmail accounts, and from there reset passwords on any other service linked to that email address. What Was Exposed: Email addresses. Plaintext passwords. Associated login URLs. Why This Matters. Webmail accounts are often the master key to a person's digital life, since password reset links for banking, shopping, and social media accounts all flow through the inbox. A compromised webmail account can quickly turn into a chain of credential stuffing attempts, account takeovers, and financial fraud across other services. How Combolists Work. A combolist is a plain text file that pairs email addresses or usernames with passwords, typically compiled from older breaches, phishing operations, or malware infections and then packaged for sale or free distribution. Because they need no technical skill to use, combolists like this one spread quickly through Telegram channels and are often the starting point for large scale credential stuffing campaigns.
