Abstract
Techniques are provided for evaluating compromised credential information. A method for evaluating compromised credentials comprises the steps of: collecting data regarding previously compromised credentials that were used to commit an unauthorized activity; applying one or more statistical learning methods to the collected data to identify one or more patterns; and evaluating a risk of credentials that have been compromised by one or more attackers using the identified patterns. According to a further aspect of the invention, a risk score is generated for one or more users and devices. The risk scores are optionally ordered based on an order of risk. The data can be collected, for example, from one or more of anti-fraud servers and information sources.
