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 "unusual activity detected on your Stripe Dashboard — review within 24 hours or payouts will be suspended" email targeting SaaS founders, e-commerce merchants, and any business running on Stripe. Harvests Stripe Dashboard credentials and 2FA codes. Post-compromise, attackers: (1) change payout bank accounts to attacker-controlled accounts, redirecting the merchant's revenue stream; (2) extract customer card data from Radar reports; (3) create fraudulent payouts on behalf of the merchant; (4) pivot to Stripe Connect accounts to hit every connected seller (a platform-wide compromise from a single credential). Stripe's own phishing-awareness blog documented sustained 2024-2025 campaigns. 2026 variants add fake transaction IDs + dollar amounts to increase plausibility. The phish converts because Stripe Dashboard suspensions + payout pauses ARE real policy mechanisms — merchants react fast because a payout pause during cash-flow-tight months can tank a business. Fires when body references Stripe / Stripe Dashboard / Stripe Connect / Stripe payouts / Radar / merchant account AND contains unusual-activity / review / suspend / verify / compliance-review urgency. Excludes stripe.com + dashboard.stripe.com + connect.stripe.com + notifications.stripe.com + receipts.stripe.com + support.stripe.com. Auto-classified as danger via the `-lure` suffix.
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 2,143+ 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.
