HEROIC Analysts Uncovered Winery ULP 273.000 LINES and 39,207 Logins

While monitoring Telegram in August 2026, HEROIC analysts came across a file titled Winery ULP 273.000 LINES holding 39,207 email and plaintext password pairs, each matched to a specific site URL. Scanning your email is the only way to know if your details are part of the find.

Why This Discovery Matters

Discovering a file like this matters because every login inside it is immediately usable. There is no password cracking standing between an attacker and access, since the password sits in plain text right next to the email and the site it opens.

What Analysts Found Inside

• Email Addresses: a direct target for phishing or further attacks.
• Plaintext Password: usable as is, with no cracking required.
• URLs: identifies which site each login pair was used on.

The Risk This Discovery Creates

Once a login is confirmed to work on one site, an attacker will often try the same email and password combination elsewhere, since so many people reuse passwords. That turns a single exposed login into a possible foothold across several of your accounts, not just the one named in the file. That risk is not limited to accounts you consider important, since attackers often start with whichever account is easiest to reach and work outward from there.

How Files Like This Get Assembled

A combolist is built by pulling together logins that already leaked or were exposed somewhere else, then organizing them by the site each one worked on. Nobody had to break into a company's servers to create it. It is instead a compilation of credentials known to already function, gathered for reuse by other attackers.

Next Steps After the Winery ULP 273.000 LINES Discovery

Start by taking a moment to scan your email and see whether it turns up. If it does, change the password tied to that site and anywhere else you have reused it. Whether it is a personal inbox or a work address, the same steps apply.
