Fake Apple ID suspended / locked notice sent from a non-Apple domain claiming the target must verify identity to restore iCloud, App Store, or Find My access — credential-harvest cross-domain phish. Real Apple security alerts originate from apple.com / icloud.com only and link back to appleid.apple.com.
apple-id-suspended-cross-domain
What this tier means
Warning signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. Contributes to the trash score but is not by itself sufficient.
How Gorganizer detects this
Fake Apple ID suspended, locked, or "verify to keep iCloud" notice sent from a non-Apple sending domain (From / Reply-To / link domains do not align with apple.com / icloud.com / appleid.apple.com) demanding the recipient click a verification link to restore App Store, iCloud, Find My, or Apple Pay access — credential-harvest cross-domain phish targeting the Apple ecosystem. Real Apple security communications originate exclusively from apple.com or icloud.com with DMARC-aligned signing and always direct users back to appleid.apple.com or the Settings app on their device — never to third-party domains. The cross-domain mismatch (off-brand sender + off-brand verification link) is the defining signal. Distinct from generic account-suspended-phish — this targets the Apple ID / iCloud / App Store / cross-domain From-link mismatch pretext. Detection: Apple brand vocabulary (Apple ID suspended, iCloud locked, verify to restore) + sender or link domain ≠ apple.com / icloud.com / appleid.apple.com + no DMARC alignment. Trash score: +5.

False-positive guard
Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a warning-tier signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. It contributes to the trash score but never triggers deletion on its own. Gorganizer requires multiple signals + a margin over the safety floor before any email is moved to trash.
About the scoring engine
Gorganizer's scoring engine emits 2,143+ signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.
Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
