Cyrillic lookalike characters mixed with Latin (keyword evasion)

What this tier means

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

How Gorganizer detects this

The body text contains 3+ words where Cyrillic lookalike characters (а/е/о/р/с/х — visually identical to Latin a/e/o/p/c/x) are mixed with Latin characters in the same word. This defeats all keyword-matching patterns: "Yоur аccоunt" with Cyrillic о (U+043E) won't match regex "your account". Pure Cyrillic text (legitimate Russian emails) does NOT fire — only the deliberate Latin+Cyrillic mixing within single words triggers.

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.
