Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating data leakage and/or propagation tracking are provided. In some embodiments, a set of hashes associated with files of a user device and a reference set of hashes associated with files of a reference system may be obtained. An additional subset of hashes included in the set of hashes and not included in the reference set of hashes may be determined. The user device may be classified into a group based on the additional subset of hashes comprising a hash that is the same as a hash associated with a file of at least another user device classified into the group. A prediction that the file is exclusive for the group may be effectuated. Other user devices not classified into the group may be scanned. An alert indicating unauthorized activity may be generated responsive to the scan indicating that the other user devices contain the file.
