369,787 xHamster_BF Passwords Surface in a Newly Leaked List

If you ever signed up on xHamster, this new file is worth checking. A combolist dated 17-Mar-2026 contains 369,787 records pairing email addresses with plaintext passwords and the URLs those logins belong to. Because the passwords are stored in plain text, anyone holding a copy of this file can use them exactly as written. The only way to know for certain if your information is part of this file is to scan your email.

What Happens When a Password Doesn't Need Cracking

Plaintext passwords remove the one obstacle that normally slows an attacker down: cracking. With almost 370,000 pairs in this file, automated tools can run through every one of them against other login pages in minutes. If your xHamster password is one you've used elsewhere, that other account is exposed the moment someone runs this list.

The Contents of This 369,787-Record File

• Email addresses: work as a login name and a target for follow-up phishing messages.
• Plaintext passwords: readable and usable immediately, no cracking necessary.
• URLs: identify exactly which site each set of credentials is meant to unlock.

From a Leaked Password to a Drained Account

At this scale, even a small percentage of reused passwords adds up to thousands of accounts at risk elsewhere. An attacker who successfully logs in with one of these pairs can lock out the real owner, harvest personal details, or use a compromised email to reset passwords on other services entirely. The size of this file makes that kind of automated testing far more efficient for whoever holds it.

The Mechanics Behind a Combolist This Large

A file of this size is typically built by merging several smaller collections of email and password pairs into one larger list, then organizing them by the URL each pair is tied to. That structure makes it faster for an attacker to sort credentials by target site before testing them. Once a combolist like this is shared, it tends to be copied and redistributed many times over.

Steps to Take After the xHamster_BF Exposure

Run the scan your email tool to check whether your address is among the 369,787 in this file. If it turns up, change your xHamster password and update it anywhere else you used the same one, choosing a unique password for each account this time. Do this for personal and work email alike, since a work address can end up in a file like this just as easily.
