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 cloud storage deletion phishing email — impersonating Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or iCloud to claim the victim's storage is full or their account is about to be permanently deleted, directing them to a phishing page to "upgrade" or "renew" by entering payment card credentials. Red flags: external sender domain (not google.com/dropbox.com/microsoft.com/apple.com), claim that existing files/emails will be "permanently deleted," and urgent call-to-action with a link. Real cloud providers do not send deletion threats from external domains or request card details via email links. Google/Dropbox never permanently delete files immediately upon storage limit — they block new uploads. These phishing campaigns harvest payment card numbers and Google/Apple ID credentials.

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.
