A computer-implemented method for identifying private keys that have been compromised may include (1) identifying a private key that enables a signatory to digitally sign applications, (2) collecting information about the private key from at least one public source, (3) determining, based on the information collected from the public source, that the private key has been compromised and is accessible to unauthorized signatories, and (4) performing a security action in response to determining that the private key has been compromised and is accessible to the unauthorized signatories. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
