Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for eliminating abuse caused by password reuse in different computer systems are disclosed. For example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving a security request comprising an anonymized version of authentication data from a first computer system of a first organization, analyzing the security request to determine a second computer system of a second organization to contact for detecting reuse of the authentication data, generating a second security request comprising the anonymized authentication data for the second computer system, sending the second security request to the second computer system of the second organization, analyzing a response to the second security request from the second computer system to determine whether the anonymized authentication data associated was detected, and providing a response to the first security request indicating whether the second computer system detected reuse of the authentication data.
