- Account inactivity / win-backwarning
account-inactivity-email - Fake acquired-vendor rebrand / change-of-accounts (CoA) lure — "Vendor X is now Vendor Y, please update bank details on file." Mimics legit M&A churn; vendor-name change is the tell. Real vendor M&A bank-detail changes flow through the AP-system change-notification process with verbal verification through a known phone contact, never via a single inbound email demanding wire-redirect on a deadline. Sender NOT on the merchant / bank canonical-allowlist (stripe.com, paypal.com, amazon.com, apple.com, visa.com, mastercard.com, americanexpress.com, discover.com, klarna.com, adyen.com, square.com, squareup.com, shopify.com, wise.com, revolut.com, jpmorgan.com, chase.com, bankofamerica.com, wellsfargo.com, citi.com, hsbc.com, barclays.com, deutsche-bank.com, bnpparibas.com, ing.com, santander.com, rabobank.com, nordea.com, seb.se, swedbank.com, handelsbanken.com). Distinct from R6/R7/R8 generic vendor / merchant spoofs — this signal is specifically the M&A-rebrand bank-detail-redirect variant, an AP-fraud / wire-redirect precursor that bypasses FP-control on standard merchant-spoof signals because the framing is "we changed banks because of acquisition" rather than "your payment failed." Source: Red-Team R8 multi-agent council S2 (social-engineering specialist).threat
acquired-vendor-rebrand-coa-change-lure - Fake Adobe Sign / Acrobat Sign document-signing request from non-adobe.com senderwarning
adobe-sign-pivot - Spoofed notification claiming an AI assistant / agentic tool needs expanded OAuth/tool permissions. "Approve expanded permissions within 24 hours: grant access to your calendar, email, and file storage." Targets users of AI assistants (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini). Sender NOT a canonical AI vendor (anthropic.com, openai.com, google.com, microsoft.com, etc.). Label-only: engine flags but cannot patch the agent platform — action is always label, never trash. Source: Red-Team R8 multi-agent council C5 (agentic-AI specialist).warning
agent-tool-permission-creep - Agentic-AI vishing lure — email directs victim to call a phone number where an AI voice agent conducts the credential-harvest or fraudwarning
agentic-ai-vishing - Fake EU AI Office GPAI (general-purpose AI) compliance-audit lure — "AI Office audit scheduled — submit model card and technical documentation within 7 days to avoid AI Act enforcement" targeting EU AI providers and downstream deployers. GPAI obligations went live Aug 2 2025; the high-risk Article 53/55 transition runs to Aug 2 2026, giving attackers a real and credible pretext window. Real AI Office communications come through ec.europa.eu / digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu, never via inbound email link. Source: GC1 R7 multiagent council top-5 (S3 EU-reg specialist).threat
ai-act-gpai-2026-compliance-deadline-lure - Fake EU AI Act Annex III high-risk-system conformity-assessment lure — "Notified Body audit — submit technical file with mandatory CE marking documentation within 14 days" targeting B2B HR-tech and fintech ML teams running AI Act Annex III deployments (employment screening, credit decisioning, biometrics). The Aug 2 2026 conformity-assessment deadline is a real and credible regulatory pretext. Real Notified Body audits are arranged through commercial contracts; conformity-assessment findings come via email plus formal letter — never via inbound email link demanding immediate technical-file upload. Distinct from `ai-act-gpai-2026-compliance-deadline-lure` (GPAI providers, broader scope). Source: GC1 R8 multiagent council top-5 (S3 EU-reg specialist).threat

ai-cold-outreach-compound - Fake AI-debug token-paste prompt lure — "Paste your OAuth token / API key / session cookie / Gmail app password / refresh token into the AI debugger" + link to common AI-demo host (*.replit.app / *.vercel.app / *.streamlit.app / *.huggingface.space / *.modal.run / *.glitch.me / *.netlify.app / *.repl.co). Net-new attacker channel circa 2025-26 — democratisation of Streamlit / HF Space / Replit lookalike-tooling means attackers can stand up a credible "AI debugger" UI in minutes, harvesting OAuth tokens / API keys / session cookies for full account-takeover. Token-exfil + agent-context cluster. Overlaps R6 OAuth-consent funnel but distinct: target is paste-into-textbox, not OAuth-flow. Highest +6 trash given catastrophic blast-radius (an exfiltrated OAuth token gives the attacker the same Gmail-API + Drive-API access the user has).

art-gallery-exhibition - Fake Ascension / CommonSpirit 2026 HHS-OCR breach notification credit-monitoring enrollment lure — "Free credit monitoring / identity protection — enroll within 30 days to claim your benefit" harvesting SSN + DOB + insurance-beneficiary IDs from patients of the affected health systems. Post Change-Healthcare-2024, both Ascension and CommonSpirit filed multi-million-patient HHS OCR breach notifications, lending the lure massive credibility. Real breach-monitoring enrollment goes through legitimate identity-protection vendors (IDX, Experian, Kroll) with a postal letter + enrollment code, never via inbound email link requesting personal information.

bank-wire-recall-urgency-lure - Fake Base + OP Stack Superchain L3 sequencer-downtime refund-claim drainer lure — "Base / Superchain sequencer experienced downtime / fault-proof failure — claim refund through bridge.base.org within 48 hours" targeting Base L2 / L3 users who saw real sequencer-downtime news. The drainer prompts a Permit2-style approval at a fake bridge.base.org which gives attackers blank-check token-spend authority. Real Base / OP sequencer-incident refunds (when applicable) flow through native protocol UI on bridge.base.org / optimism.io, never via inbound email link demanding wallet connection. Distinct from `fake-eip-7702-account-abstraction-delegation-lure` (general delegation drainer), `fake-eigenlayer-symbiotic-restaking-slash-recovery-lure` (LRT slash drainer). Bridge-drainer cluster.

blacksmithing-metalwork - Fake board-observer onboarding lure — "Welcome aboard, please sign DocuSign" to a non-existent board observer role; targets exec-adjacent staff (CFO, GC, board secretary, exec-assistant) who can't easily verify the appointment. Lookalike DocuSign / AdobeSign envelopes harvest exec-credentials and signing keys (DocuSign auth → access to all signed envelopes for the org). Sender NOT on the e-sign canonical allowlist (docusign.net / .com, adobesign.com, adobe.com, echosign.com, hellosign.com, dropbox.com, pandadoc.com, signnow.com, signrequest.com, oneflow.com, eversign.com, rightsignature.com). Distinct from R7 slow-burn-BEC and R7 estate-finance-extension — this signal is specifically the board-observer onboarding pretext, a fresh corporate-roleplay vector exploiting early-stage / startup governance churn (board observers are common at Series A-C; their onboarding rarely involves the wider company). Source: Red-Team R8 multi-agent council S2 (social-engineering specialist).threat

T+1 settlement (effective May 2024) plus FINRA Rule 4210 margin requirements give the lure narrative credibility; harvested wires go to attacker bank accounts, not the broker. Real T+1 fails-to-deliver and margin-call notifications come through the broker portal and registered phone, never via inbound email link demanding immediate wire transfer. Distinct from `fake-finra-arbitration-statement-of-claim-spoof` (Statement-of-Claim wire fraud) and `fake-reg-nms-rule-606-execution-quality-disclosure-spoof` (regulatory-filing rejection).

Delivers Casbaneiro / Metamorfo + Horabot banking trojans targeting Santander, Banco do Brasil, Caixa, Sicredi, Bradesco, Itaú, BBVA, Banamex, Mercado Pago.

Sender NOT on the CDN-canonical allowlist (jsdelivr.net, unpkg.com, cdnjs.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, cloudflare.com, fastly.com, akamai.com, akamaihd.net, amazonaws.com, cloudfront.net, azureedge.net, bunny.net, keycdn.com, stackpath.com, github.com, githubusercontent.com, githubapp.com). Real CDN providers ship integrity hashes via the CDN dashboard or package-publish flow, never via inbound email demanding a hash rotation on a deadline. Distinct from R7 npm-provenance-spoof (publish-trust) and R8 deploy-key (org repo trust) — this signal is specifically the *existing-script-tag* SRI-hash mutation pretext, a supply-chain script-injection precursor (drive-by code execution on every site that loads the CDN-hosted asset).

cdn-subresource-pin-rotation-lure - Fake CEO calendar-invite-then-ask BEC lure — "as discussed in our Q3 review meeting yesterday, please wire $X to the new vendor account" / "per our calendar meeting earlier today, process the wire transfer to the new payee within 4 hours" follow-up to a spoofed CEO calendar invite. Sender NOT on the calendar-canonical allowlist (google.com, calendar.google.com, gmail.com, microsoft.com, microsoftonline.com, outlook.com, office.com, office365.com, apple.com, icloud.com, calendly.com, hubspot.com, cal.com, savvycal.com, fantastical.app). Real CEO wire requests after a meeting flow through dual-control with verbal verification through a known phone number, audited by both finance and exec sponsor — never as a single inbound email demanding a same-day wire on a confidentiality / "do not loop in finance" pretext. Distinct from R7 slow-burn-BEC (4-mail warm-up) and R7 scheduler-link (Calendly drop-in) — this signal is specifically the *calendar-event-pretext* primitive (Lead consensus C1: calendar-event itself lends authority no plain mail has).

Real client-attestation is server-to-server during the OAuth client authentication step (client_attestation header on /token endpoint with an attestation JWT signed by the device-attestation provider) — never via inbound email demanding the user submit a JWT for echo-back verification. Distinct from R7 PAR family and R8 DPoP-window — this signal is specifically the *attestation-based client auth* bypass pretext (RFC 9700, draft-ietf-oauth-attestation-based-client-auth-09; user submits client_attestation JWT to attacker who echoes it back as legit, bypassing OAuth client authentication).

tennis-racquet-sports - Fake Terraform Registry module namespace-squat IaC drift PR lure — "Renovate has detected a new terraform module source — update from hashicorp/aws-vpc to hashicorp-aws/vpc and re-run terraform init within 24 hours" / "update the source attribute in your module block from terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws to terraform-aws-mods/vpc-aws and run terraform init within 48 hours." Sender NOT on the canonical Terraform / IaC vendor allowlist (hashicorp.com, terraform.io, registry.terraform.io, github.com, githubusercontent.com, githubapp.com, renovatebot.com, dependabot.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org, pulumi.com, spacelift.io, env0.com, terraformcloud.io, app.terraform.io). Real Terraform Registry module updates flow through the module-version constraint and Renovate / Dependabot bots that bump the version, never via inbound email demanding a namespace swap. Distinct from R7 npm-provenance-spoof (npm-publish-trust) and R8 cdn-pin-rotation (CDN SRI) — this signal is specifically the *Terraform Registry namespace squat* pretext (e.g., hashicorp/aws-vpc → hashicorp-aws/vpc namespace swap, IaC drift PR mail with module-source rewrite; module pulled at `terraform init` time, attacker code runs in the maintainer's CI).
