Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a system and method for predictive identification of breached entities. Identification number and expiration date pairs associated with compromised records in a source file are analyzed to identify a set of candidate entities having records at least partially matching the source file data pairs having events occurring during a selected time period. Probability vectors are calculated for records associated with each identified entity. A divergence value is calculated which represents a distance between probability distribution vectors for each entity and probability distribution vectors for the source file. A predicted breached entity is identified based on the divergence values. The predicted breached entity is notified of the predicted breach. The notification can include an identification of the breached entity, identification of breached records, predicted time of breach, and/or a recommendation to take action to mitigate the predicted breach.
