The WordPress Leak Exposed 28,515 Records, Rivaling a Small Town

HEROIC analysts found a combolist labeled "wordpress" that a Telegram user uploaded on 11-Jul-2026. The file contains 28,515 records of email and username and password credentials tied to accounts in the United States.

Why This WordPress-Tagged Leak Is Dangerous

Whether or not every credential in this file was pulled from WordPress sites specifically, the label points to what these tools are built for: automated login attempts against websites at scale. Each of the 28,515 records already pairs an email address with a plaintext password, so an attacker can start testing them immediately, no extra work required.

What Was Exposed

• Email Addresses
• Plaintext Passwords
• URLs

Why This Matters

A file of 28,515 records is large enough to affect a whole community of website owners and users at once. If your login is part of this leak and you reused that password anywhere else, an attacker can attempt credential stuffing against your email, hosting account, or online store. From there, the risk quickly extends to account takeover, financial fraud, and identity theft.

How a Combolist Targeting Websites Like This Forms

Combolists tied to specific platforms are often built by combining login data harvested through phishing pages, credential-stealing malware, or previous breaches of hosting and website accounts. Once compiled, a file like this is uploaded to Telegram, where it can be picked up and reused by attackers running large-scale login attempts against websites everywhere.

Check If You Are Affected

You don't need to guess whether your login is part of this leak. HEROIC's free breach scanner checks your email against a database of more than 400 billion leaked records, including combolists like this one, so you can quickly confirm your exposure and update any passwords that need it.
