ThreatPhishing & impersonation

Fake cloud storage quota exceeded / upgrade lure — "your storage is 98% full, upgrade now"; real quota alerts come from within the authenticated app (Google Drive / OneDrive / Dropbox), not cold inbound email.

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 quota exceeded or upgrade lure — "your Google Drive / OneDrive / Dropbox storage is 98% full, upgrade now or lose your files." Real cloud storage quota alerts come from within the authenticated app and authenticated email from the verified platform domain; cold inbound email with an upgrade payment CTA is credential-harvest or payment fraud. Detection: storage quota/storage full/files will be deleted vocabulary + upgrade storage/buy more storage/increase quota CTA + no List-Unsubscribe + no In-Reply-To + not protected sender. Trash score: +3. Source: GC1-R19; Google/Microsoft security advisory; APWG cloud storage phishing trend 2025.

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.
