1. A computer-implemented method for determining if an account identifier is computer-generated, comprising:
receiving the account identifier;
analyzing hashed or truncated identifier fragments of the account identifier to determine one or more tokens, the hashed or truncated identifier fragments having a predetermined fragment size, the fragment size automatically determined by a training data set;
comparing the one or more tokens and the fragments of the account identifier to other fragments associated with a plurality of other account identifiers to determine common occurrences; and
determining, by a computer, if the account identifier is computer-generated based on the determined fragment occurrences exceeding a predetermined confidence threshold, wherein the predetermined confidence threshold is based on a size of the other fragments associated with the plurality of the other account identifiers.
