Deepfake CEO BEC — exec impersonation + Loom/Vimeo/YouTube video link + urgent wire / M&A / payroll change (post-Arup pattern)
deepfake-ceo-video-link-wire-urgency
What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Email claims to be from a CEO/CFO/executive, embeds a link to a video host (YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Wistia, Vidyard, Panopto), and uses urgency language for a wire transfer, M&A confidentiality, or payroll change — the post-Arup deepfake-video BEC pattern. Arup lost $25.6M to a deepfake CFO video call in 2024; 700% YoY rise in deepfake video scams through 2025-2026 per Trend Micro, Brightside AI, Tookitaki, GenuVerity. The real video link contains an AI-generated talking-head executive instructing the recipient to approve an urgent wire. Distinct from existing voice/audio deepfake signals — this targets the video-platform delivery vector specifically.
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.
