Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving an indicator of enrollment of a user in a breach notification service; acquiring information regarding the user; and generating one or more indicators of a data breach for an entity that stores one of data regarding the user or an indication of a transaction with the user in a past predefined time period. The computer-implemented method further includes determining that the one or more indicators meet a threshold level for notifying the user of the data breach; in response to determining that the one or more indicators meet the threshold, generating a notification specific to the user regarding the data breach; and providing the notification to the user during a log-in process for a product or service associated with the provider computing system.
