DocuSign API abuse — @docusign.net sender impersonating consumer brand (Norton/PayPal/Geek Squad) with invoice amount

docusign-api-abuse-invoice-lure

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 from a real @docusign.net / @docusign.com address (passes DMARC/SPF) impersonates consumer brands (Norton, PayPal, McAfee, Geek Squad, Best Buy) with a dollar-amount invoice. Attackers pay for DocuSign accounts and abuse the Envelopes API to mass-send fake invoices that email auth cannot block. Wallarm and BleepingComputer documented active campaigns since Nov 2024; HHS issued a healthcare sector alert. Common amounts: $199–$499 designed to trigger callback-phone fraud.

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.
