ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake bank claiming account has been temporarily suspended or locked due to suspicious activity and requiring credential verification within 24 hours to restore access — credential-harvest attack; real banks never request full login credential re-entry via cold email link outside their authenticated portal.

What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

Fake bank or credit union claiming the recipient's account has been temporarily suspended or locked due to suspicious activity, requiring credential verification within 24 hours via email link to restore access — high-confidence credential-harvest attack. Real banks communicate account holds and restrictions through their authenticated online banking portals and mobile apps; they never request full login credential re-entry via cold inbound email links under a 24-hour deadline. The 24-hour restore-or-permanent-suspension pressure is a consistent urgency pattern across all major bank phishing campaigns. Detection: bank account temporarily suspended/locked + verify credentials within 24 hours/restore bank access vocabulary + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +5. Source: GC1-R25; APWG banking phishing report Q4 2025; FBI IC3 banking credential phishing advisory; FS-ISAC bank impersonation alert.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.

About the scoring engine

Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 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.
