ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake Coinbase/Binance/Kraken account suspension or KYC notice with credential-harvest login link — targets hot wallet/exchange credentials (distinct from hardware wallet seed phrase phishing).

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 Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, or similar crypto exchange claiming an account has been suspended due to unusual activity or KYC requirements, with a credential-harvest login CTA — exchange account takeover targeting hot wallet/exchange balances. Distinct from the hardware-wallet seed-phrase phish (batch 8) which targets cold storage. Attackers steal exchange credentials to liquidate balances, change withdrawal addresses, or enable OTC fraud. Detection: Coinbase/Binance/Kraken/crypto exchange + account suspended/KYC required + click to verify/log in to verify action + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +5. Source: GC1-R22; Chainalysis exchange phishing 2025; APWG crypto exchange impersonation advisory.

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.
