ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake Zoom / Teams / Meet / Webex meeting invite RAT lure — email-delivered meeting invite with a "download installer" or "install helper extension" link pointing to a typosquat domain that drops AsyncRAT / QuasarRAT / Remcos; heavy 2025-2026 uptick as remote work normalized the email → click → install chain

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-delivered fake meeting invite claiming to be from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, or BlueJeans with a "join meeting", "install the updated client", or "install the meeting helper extension" link pointing to a typosquat domain that delivers AsyncRAT, QuasarRAT, Remcos, or DarkGate. Heavy 2025-2026 uptick as attackers exploited the normalized remote-work chain (email → click → download installer → compromise). Real Zoom / Teams / Meet invites come from the operator's verified domain, never require a fresh installer for a single meeting, and integrate with the user's already-installed client via calendar event — not a download link.

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.
