  • System and method for storing data used by breach detection systems
    Patent number: 11403425
    Abstract: A system for detecting breach of merchant systems includes an extraction management system for extracting wildcard data from a dump site at which stolen account data is offered for sale. The system also includes an account breach identifying system for accessing stored transaction data from multiple banks and merging the extracted dump site data with the transaction data to create unique PAN (primary account number) data records (each set of wildcard data corresponds to only a single PAN) and multiple PAN data records (each set of wildcard data corresponds to multiple PANs). The unique and multiple PAN data records are stored and analyzed separately, and reduce the amount of data needed to identify a breached merchant.
