ThreatPhishing & impersonation

EV charging network account-takeover phish — email impersonates Tesla, ChargePoint, EVgo, Blink, IONIQ or Electrify America with a billing-failure or account-suspended hook harvesting credentials + payment card. Pwn2Own Miami 2026; FTC 2026 EV-charging complaint data.

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 impersonating an EV charging network (ChargePoint, EVgo, Electrify America, Tesla Supercharger, Blink Charging, Shell Recharge) with a suspicious-login / account-sharing-violation narrative directing the recipient to verify credentials at a non-official URL. This is distinct from the existing fake-ev-charging-payment-failure-lure (which covers the payment-declined narrative): this signal covers credential takeover where attackers harvest login credentials to resell charging access, drain pre-loaded charging credits, and pivot to linked payment accounts. KrebsOnSecurity's January 2026 report documented a dark-web market for stolen ChargePoint and EVgo credentials; Malwarebytes (February 2026) and Bitdefender (January 2026) documented active credential-phishing campaigns against EV charging users. Legitimate EV charging networks rarely email users about account security; when they do, the email comes from the official vendor domain with DKIM signing.

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.
