Logs — are accounts accessed using stolen authentication data: cookies, tokens, usernames, and passwords. This data is usually collected from the owner’s device using malicious software.
The package may include not only access to one account but also other data saved in the browser. For example, active sessions, email accounts, linked services, and device information. The exact contents depend on what data was obtained.
How Logs Differ from Brute-Forced Accounts
With brute-forced accounts, access is obtained through a guessed or compromised password. A log may contain an active session in the form of cookies or a token, so logging in sometimes does not require re-entering the username, password, and verification code.
Main Risks
The lifespan of a log cannot be known in advance. The owner may log out of the account, change the password, or terminate active sessions — after that, the cookies and tokens will stop working. Access may also be lost after a security check or changes to the account settings.
Important to Know
Logs are obtained without the owner’s consent using stolen data. Purchasing and using them involves high risks and may violate the law.
