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 1Password Emergency Kit reset or Secret Key recovery lure from a non-1password.com sender. 1Password is a category leader with 150,000+ business customers and millions of individual users. The Emergency Kit is a PDF containing the account's Secret Key (required for all device enrollments) and is the single most critical recovery artifact in the 1Password security model — without it, account recovery is impossible. Attackers send fake "Your 1Password Emergency Kit has been reset by an administrator — download your new Emergency Kit immediately" or "Your Secret Key has been flagged for security reset — complete account recovery within 48 hours" emails. Victims who click are taken to a pixel-perfect 1Password phishing page that harvests both the Master Password and Secret Key, giving the attacker full vault access. The signal fires when: (1) body references 1Password brand AND (2) Emergency Kit, Secret Key, vault recovery, or account recovery action is present AND (3) sender is NOT 1password.com or agilebits.com AND (4) no List-Unsubscribe or In-Reply-To.

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.
