ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake Figma organization / Professional subscription payment failed, design files and team workspace suspended, or FigJam boards at risk phishing — fraudulent email impersonating Figma claiming the organization or Professional subscription payment has failed, design files and team workspace are suspended, component libraries and prototypes are no longer active, or FigJam boards are at risk — Figma: 4M+ paying users ($15/editor/month Starter, $45-75/editor/month Professional/Organization/Enterprise); #1 design tool used by Google, Microsoft, Airbnb, and 90%+ of design teams globally; distinct from fake Figma file-share credential phishing — this targets billing suspension with company-wide design workflow consequences; Figma Organization plan suspension locks all editors out of the entire design workspace, component library, and collaboration infrastructure simultaneously

What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

Phishing emails impersonating Figma claiming the organization or Professional subscription payment has failed, design files and team workspace are suspended, component libraries and prototypes are no longer active, or FigJam boards are at risk — directing them to update billing or sign in to restore the design subscription through a credential-harvesting portal. Distinct from fake Figma file-share phishing (which uses a fake design file invitation as a credential lure) — this targets Figma billing suspension with company-wide design workflow consequences. Key facts: (1) Figma Organization plan suspension locks entire design infrastructure: Figma serves 4M+ paying users ($15/editor/month Starter, $45-75/editor/month Professional/Organization/Enterprise) and is the #1 design tool used by Google, Microsoft, Airbnb, Spotify, and 90%+ of professional design teams globally — when a Figma Organization subscription lapses, every editor in the organization loses access to all shared design files, component libraries, prototypes, and FigJam boards simultaneously; design teams that rely on Figma for daily product work cannot design, review, or hand off work; (2) Shared component libraries create compound workflow failure: Figma Organization and Professional plans allow shared component libraries that power design systems — suspension freezes the component library syncing, meaning designers cannot access shared UI components, design tokens, or brand assets; engineering teams relying on design token exports from Figma also lose access to updated specifications; (3) FigJam boards serve as the hub for team workshops and planning: FigJam (Figma's collaborative whiteboard tool, part of Figma subscriptions) is used for product planning, design critiques, retrospectives, and team workshops — suspension during an active sprint planning session or design review creates immediate team coordination failure; (4) Figma's role as design-to-engineering handoff hub magnifies organizational impact: suspended Figma files block engineers from accessing design specs and measurements, halt QA teams from design-spec verification, and stop product managers from reviewing design work; a suspended Figma account creates a bottleneck across design, engineering, and product simultaneously; (5) Figma account credentials give attackers access to every proprietary design file, unreleased product mockups, brand identity assets, UX research documentation, and design system source files. Warning signs: sender not figma.com; genuine Figma billing managed at figma.com/settings; Figma never sends billing alerts from domains like figma-account-alerts.net or figma-billing-support.info.

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.
