Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for information security, specifically for automatically detecting theft of personal data. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method for automatically detecting theft of personal data on the Internet may include at least one processor configured to execute instructions, the instructions including receiving from a user, an electronic communication containing a first search term, extracting via pattern recognition one or more patterns corresponding with the first search term, and comparing the one or more patterns with a subset of data scraped from the Internet, with the subset of data scraped from the Internet being indexed by pattern for the first search term. The instructions may also include flagging matches of the one or more patterns with the subset of data based on the comparison and transmitting information associated with the matches in a report that indicates a possible theft of personal data.
